Yes, you're reading the right of it.
I don't intend to try converting the entire eleven acres into a lake... maybe (If I'm lucky) three to five acres of it depending on how steep the cost of dam construction ends up.
Perhaps I'll consider a sediment tank upstream as well though I can imagine what my wolves will make of that *LOL*
At any rate, thanks for the information on Crappie. I probably won't get the current issue to read the article, as I only just subscribed and it's certainly not something I see on my local Mal-Wart shelves.

I've always heard that talapia are very bad invasive fish that are a pain to cull if they get out of hand? Am I wrong, or is their current positive status a new thing?
