I wish I had the rain you have got. We got nothing this spring. I really don't know how my pond is as full as it is. I only get a little runoff from 1 corner and that comes across my driveway. I have a small creek about 100 feet from the pond. It's usually dry except in the spring. I had planned on pumping from the creek to help fill it. We haven't even had enough rain for me to pump it. My pond builder made me a sump pit with a manhole cover about 12 feet deep to pump from. I haven't even had enough water to make an effort. I would pump it dry in about 2 minutes. I'm not that concerned about it though. My forage is doing great. By the time I start stocking LMB next year it will be full. Until then, I'm having a blast working on everything.
