Rainman, I did the same thing with a 2nd feeder I put up 2 weeks ago. The pond had 10 inches in 3 days, 5 in a few hrs. Saturday early AM. I strung a cable across the pond and hung the feeder about 3 ft. above the water. I 'eyeballed' the height of it compared to the spillway. I did about as good a job as the dozer operator; the water went over the other side of dam from spillway. Oop!
