I just found this thread. If you hadn't updated it, I never would have seen it. I'm glad your dam is holding up well. I'm in the waiting process, as mine still needs 3-4' of water to reach the overflow pipe. You've got more rain, for sure, and more acres in your drainage area for pond size. I guess now I'll worry about my drain pipe, and if it will handle a big rain when full. I've got two of the collars on the pipe, and I watched the guys pack it with the track hoe, and a manual tamper. Hoping for the best. Our drought isn't helping.
Just curious, when you go without rain for a while, if you ever do, does your water level drop much? We haven't had rain for a few weeks, and my water level has dropped 3". I keep hearing that's normal, but I worry.
Good luck with your fish stocking, mine are going in early next week, even though I'm not at full pool.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
