Chris,
There is no dam, as this was an excavation (1250 cu.yards of clay were removed from the site), so that's not a concern. Should I fence off the outlet back aways in the pond, maybe use 1/2" netting over hog panels on steel posts? Or try to build something right where the water goes out? I'm trying to imagine how this would look- not pretty!
Am I being paranoid? Are stockers likely to go for swift shallow water leaving a pond? This probably will run a dozen times a year, 5' wide and 5-6" deep in the middle.
Anyone have pictures or descriptions of what they've done?
