I'll shoot some pics today. One of the old guys who lives down the road told me the pond used to have a spill way and the spring that fed it was a steady flow. The previous owner diverted most of the creek, did away with the spill way and installed a drain pipe that runs under the dam. The pipe had several leaks in it and I capped it at the rear months ago with plans to build a nice gravel spillway. After I sealed the drain the spring dried up and the water level has just steadily dropped, even after a good rain. As for the trees on the dam, none of them are larger than say 4 or 5 inches or so and they are all pines. The pond has a large population of blue gills, some bass, some channel cats, and from what I can tell, only one carp, but he is huge. The pond will only be used for fishing.
