Ok bringing this thread back to the top. Lake is built. Just under 2 acres and has maximum depth of 18'. I have not personally seen it yet but am going down to the ranch tomorrow. I do have a picture albeit not a great one and cant figure out how to post it as more than an attachment. Plenty of questions.
#1I have read where freshly cut oak trees can prove toxic to the water. There are no oaks but are plenty of large bull mesquites. I would really like to cut several of these and drag them to primary spots. Will that be an issue?
#2 There are no rocks whatsoever on the place so what would be the best/cheapest type of rock to put in the lake. I can't imagine trying to haul enough big rocks 300 miles on a 16' flatbed. Seems like it might take more in gas than a load of cheap rock delivered?
#3. There is plenty of sand available but it is very fine beach like sand. Would I be better off getting a load of pea gravel for a spawning area?
I am sure I have created more questions for myself but it is a start.
