Alrighty, then. Storm gone, high winds, heavy rains. Tornado to the south, is tracking into Oklahoma right now.
Back to business. Anyone want to talk about goals, fish, ponds, vegetation, water?
If so, I'm back in. If not, I'm headed to bed. If there's enough interest, we'll do it again. Let me hear from you.

Do you think that 220 acres of watershed is enough for 15+ acre lake(100acre feet) in east Texas. The average rainfall is 45 inches.
The watershed is wooded with heavy clay soils and minimal infiltration rate.
They is no doubt in my mind that it would stay full with the rain we are having this year but I am wondering about a less than normal year.

Chris, let's do some math. If there's a 220 acre watershed in N.E. Texas and you get 45 inches a year and at least 65% is runoff (which is probably pretty close), then you will receive about 30 inches of runoff yearly. 30 inches x 220 acres = 6,600 acre inches/12 inches/acre foot = 550 acre feet per year. For a 15 acre lake, you better have a tall dam and wide spillway. That watershed suits a 30 acre lake much better...and it will still flush more than once a year. A bottom water release pipe is a must as is a lot of freeboard and major spillway planning.
By the way...are studying or playing on the dadgum computer? Hit the books, boy.

Thanks Bob.
I think 15 acres is the minimum size that it will be. I haven't seen the ditch after a heavy rain but I would guess that it will be roaring.

Bob:
Thanks for giving us three hours of your time. I didn't get to follow the thread last night after I posted my question, but it looks like it was a pretty good ride.

Bob, sorry I missed this last night. A tornado touch down in my home town yesterday afternoon and I got caught up in watching the weather and totally forgot about this. See you're not the only one that forgets, I guess were even now. Glad to here the storm passed by you without damage. The lord knows you've seen your share in recent years. Thanksfully no one was killed in Breckenridge mostly just propety damage and a few minor injuries have been reported.

Jeez I can't believe that I missed this. I've been working so many long days trying to get all the tax returns done that I have in house. Since I lost a week making funeral arrangements etc I've had to burn the candle at all three ends and I didn't even know a candle had three ends. I ended up falling asleep on the coutch last night. Jeez how incredibly lame. Oh well. I've read the posts. Looks like a great time was had by all. You folks really represented the forum - well done pond meisters. DIED - great job on the GSF publicity. Once we have Bob Lusk in our pockets the world is ours. Muhaaa, Muhaaaaa, Muhaaaaaaaaaaa

Looked down by the pond yesterday morning noticed my storage building, with all my fishing equipment, had done a half gainer and was laying on it's side. Wind blew my boat about 40 feet. I got 15 inches of wind and lightning and a 1/2 inch of rain.
In Dog Beers, I've had one.
