Some pictures last time the pond was drained down:

Had to put the intake of the pump inside a fine mesh cage as small bluegills were clogging it up.











Check out these bluegill beds!



There shouldn't be any Chara this time. I had a good algae bloom that started last summer in conjunction with the Aquashade.

The ridges you see off the breaks are not due to the pond banks sloughing. I had the edges dipped a few years after building the pond and he could only reach out so far with his excavator.

Also note I did not have a pier going all the way across at the time.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
