Here's the next phase as I pump down the rest of the water. This eight foot stock tank is filled with water next to the pier with a sump pump.
Even when full it won't sink. As the pond goes down it goes down until it rests on the bottom.
Once the pond is down to a few inches the remaining flopping fish are picked up by walking on the bottom of the pond and thrown into the tank of fresh water. Then loaded in five gallon buckets and carried out. The pond is entered and left via a ladder.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
