Everything is great Randy, thanks. I'm open to ideas about the wisdom of this setup, but for now I'm forging ahead.
I forgot about your hijack attempt. Yes, Cindy's 7 acre pond is finished and filled thanks to a few very rainy days a few months ago. The clay pit for the dam was also made into a pretty little pond a few hundred feet from the big pond and it's also full. The little pond is my new RES/FH experiment because it's not likely to have any outflow to the creek. It's basically a sky pond with a spring/drain that keeps it level with the water table.
I added another 3/4 pounds of whole fish to the BSF colony today (and caught a 9 oz piggy WM too ).
