Thanks for the reply ewest .. and by definition and practice I am every bit a novice at this so all suggestions are welcome .. A year would be a great headstart for small mouth bass .. If I can find an economical way to use a coffer dam then that is a great idea .. I will research my options this winter
Have decided to design a cascading waterfall at the discharge .. I think it will be pretty unique .. we decided to mine for larger flat stone for this part of the project (approximately six feet in diameter) this of course is not an exact science .. mining for stone .. we absolutely hit gold at the end of the rainbow .. or maybe just really big flat stone at the end of the rainbow just before dark tonight .. I'll get some pics tomorrow
