I thought I'd update this thread since Google Maps has an update satellite image, so now I can show you what all we have done.
This is the old image and shows you what I started with:

If you read back into this thread you will see I had concerns with possible leakage and a high ground water table. After the spring rains, we were at full pool and the groundwater kept the overflow running. As the summer passed, we had very little rain, so I expected it would drop some. That some turned into about a 5ft drop and I noticed on the far side of the dam, water trickling through the ditch. That leads me to think we have an issue and I'm not sure what to do. Certainly some seepage would be acceptable, but losing 5 ft of water makes me real nervous.
In the this picture I tried to outline some of the areas I have talked about and give everyone a good idea as to what I'm facing.
All this has lead me to a ton of questions I'll put in other areas of the forums, but if anyone has advise, I'm open to it. I decided not to stock any additional fish until I see if we can manage this water lost and if the fish I have survive the winter.
