Well, mother nature helped me out to some extent. The drought down here has reached the point where both of my ponds are now dry. We did bring in a trackhoe a few months back and dug a large deep area in the East pond. At the time there was still water in the West pond so we didn't do any digging in it. I am interested in what happens if they ever fill back up... Of course, I may have to restock now.
