I dug some hole yesterday for the dock and did hit some shale, but9/10 clay and alot of blue clay, it was dry..like cement. The shale seemed to be close to the surface and when I got deeper it was all clay, so I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for a lot of snow to fill it up and hope it will stay filled. Glad I found this site as now I realize that the soil will take some time to get saturated. The holes I dug yesterday, 3 ft down, have no water in them this morning, now thats dry! Thanks again everybody for your help, and I'm sure I will need alot more when I start stocking and stuff
