Thanks TJ. It’s been frozen over for weeks, and staying full. Enough runoff from snow etc.. I’ll have to wait until ice out to start measuring again. I’m going to go ahead and at least use up the last of my soilfloc.
There’s a pretty big ravine between the barn/house and the pond, and about 300 yards distance. Keeps me from aerating also. I’ve toyed with the idea of a small dam in the ravine between the barn and pond. Collecting water there and pumping it to the pond, but that would be a pretty big undertaking. That ravine actually has a lot more watershed than the ravine my pond is in. It just wasn’t a good place to build.

I should be grateful I don’t have a more serious leak. It’s just that when the next drought hits, and I end up 5’ below full. Just pretty frustrating.

Thanks again

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
