Thanks guys .. it certainly has been a labor of love .. only about half of the stone came from the hole .. I have had to farm the other half from different locations. Yes the bottom is all limestone .. I did not know about the different levels until mid way through the project .. deep end by the dam will be about 13 feet, shallow end by the source pipes about 3 feet
And yes, cruising around this site has given me encouragement .. people see you digging a big hole and all the work that goes into it and they think your crazy until they see the finish product .. So thanks for the site and all the info, I'm certain I will visit frequently
Plan is to fill this winter and spring .. let it mature a little then drain in fall of 2010 at which time I will put in the water control structure, put in the dock and aeration system, make any last minute changes then refill.. Plan to stock with fish the following spring .. Any advice regarding the plan ?
