Essup thanks for the response. I am going to post some pictures of the pond and how I have the PVC run. Before I said the pipe was extended over the bank spilling water on the bank. What I did was used a "T" fitting. Kind of like this... When the water is running I am hearing a gurgling sound but no water flows through the exposed pipe pointing up. So what I am thinking is that the bubbles I see coming out of the pond water is "AIR"??? Don't laugh I do not have pictures on hand currently.

The plastic is a great idea will try that. We got heavy rains here in south ms yesterday evening and my pond is about 6ft to the spill way. smile
