If that link works the way I hope, you can see pretty clearly the pond as it was about 5 years ago. You may even be able to zoom in on it and see the concrete block overflow box.
This land and this pond has a protected perpetual stream running through it so I'm required to let the water flow through. I've seen the pond rise by more than 4 feet when we had a long hard rain and I've seen it way, way down due to our drought over the summer.
BTW: I'm very limited in the work I'm allowed to do on this property but, that's OK because I don't want to do very much other than protect the dam by clearing the trees and make sure I maintain the current very healthy and aggressive LMB population. In short, I bought it for fishing and the fishing is really good!
Note: the pond was way low when this picture was taken and, yes! those are snake-proof chaps I'm wearing.
