It looks a lot like my soil. The problem is that when I get a good rain, the sand washes off into the pond and stays suspended for quite some time. I have recently added tree limbs and branches to the run off areas to hold back the sand. Over time, I have gotten some 1 foot deep ruts in my dam. I recently filled the ruts with big rocks to slow down the water.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
