Final Days
Day 5 of work and about 23 days since it started.
They almost finished it rained the night 1 1/4" before so they damn the upper end so they could close up the damn after that they were able to open the upper end.
Day 6 they finished up the waterfowl area and finished my road as they left 15 acres is raising the water level just in one day. They finished up Saturday 10th.
Here is two trailer loads of pallets that I am using for fish cover. It Rained 1/2� on Sunday Night 11th
Water level still coming up, already at 4� just over my waders on Monday 12th
Here are my Catfish Nesting Dens.
Tuesday 13th the water level came up 6� in 24 hours. Two pallets in above photos already under water I feel like I am in a race.
Catfish dens on both sides, had to guess a little with what I believe wind direction to face the opening and I place them 6 feet below what water level should be and that what research showed was within the range of most used nesting. Hope this eventually gives catfish a chance with the bass.
Final view from far end just above waterfowl area, got all my seed down just before it started to rain so many figures in my head but 13 to 14 foot water level with a 19 foot damn changes increase size as it went along.
