Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction Problem with Clogging Overflow Pipe

Hello Pond Boss! I am a newbie here on this site as far as logging in for the first time. I have been reading and finding great information here for the last 2 years since I started my new pond construction and it has been a good deal of help. So let me get to the question: I built a new pond around 1.5 acres in size and we ran a 6" overflow pipe through the dam and it works great, except in the fall when all the leaves come down and clogs the overflow pipe. The emergency 18" pipes have been used a few times when this pipe clogged up which is ok, I guess. Is there anything homemade or something I could purchase to suck water underneath, so the leaves don't cause problems. I should have considered a bottom pond drain now, but it's a little late I guess. Any help or photo's of what has been done would be greatly appriciated. I will add a couple of photo's of the pipe when it was in construction mode. Thanks!
