I dug a small pond (~100' circle) this summer where two grassed waterways meet. That spot stayed too wet to drive over with the tractor most of the time, and it proved to be pretty difficult to excavate. Had to hire a trackhoe to dig below 3', as the bulldozer hit water table at that depth. About half of the bottom is 5-8'. It filled up about a month ago, with one 3" rain.
I stocked 200 CC, 200 HBG, and 4# FHM on the day Ike hit here, and the 2 1/2" rain made the "overflow" run like the pond wasn't there- about 5-6" deep.
Now I'm wondering how many little fish just washed out, and what to do to prevent this in the future. Any ideas?
thanks
