Been a while since I have updated here. Did lots of reading on the forum and on the few days it was not raining I walked around the pond thinking about what I would need & like to do.
1. Cut down all the trees, gum, oak, cottonwood and willows on the levee and all around the pond. I will leave a few oaks and all my cypress.
2. I think I can build a small forage pond next to the main pond. I would build a levee with a gated drain pipe so I could empty it into the main pond. I would use a gas powered waterpump to fill & maintain water.
3. Build a siphon pipe to draw down the pond so I can get back to digging and not rely on just a long hot summer to get the water down.
4. Get serious about doing some fishing to catch out those LMB and CC. Also target some BG and GSF to see what all I have out there.
Looks like I got my spring, summer and fall all planned out.
