Don't feel bad about the floating pallets...I learned the same lesson when my pond filled up.
+1 on the trash guard.. Agri-Drain makes a nice one.
I am also in agreement about keeping the pond as deep as possible. I might even consider forfeiting the north side trees if it meant another foot of depth.
Get some crawdads in there before next march...they will love all the submerged rock.
The good thing about them floating is that I know where they ALL are. I wanted to keep structure away from the dock to avoid any chance of someone getting caught while swimming.
Also, I will be getting a trash guard soon and I'll definitely check out Agri-Drain. Thanks for the tip!
Cheers!
