Al,
You are in a pond area that most of us probably don't know much about.
I do know that we haven't heard much lately from our good pond friends from northeastern California, near the Nevada border. I hope they didn't dry up and blow away. I do believe that their ponds may have totally dried up.
Although we have a lot of experts here on the site, we don't have a lot of members from your area.
It might be worth a call to Pond Boss headquarters. Bob Lusk (Mr. Pond Boss himself), and his trusty sidekick/business-partner, a world famous pond and lake builder, Mike Otto, may be able to provide some guidance. Both are very friendly and very approachable. If they can't provide guidance, I doubt anybody can. Please give them a call or e-mail/PM them through the Pond Boss office.
Regards,
Ken
