Jason and Bill, I will be developing a beach area in my gravel pit lake this spring and early summer using my resource materials frim the pit. Bill- in one area I will split the material to see what a 50% gravel and 50% sand combo will do compared to a 90+% sand covered beach/water area. I have the material to compare this project. Jason, as Bill has talked about make sure you place the beach in the correct location on the body of water or you could be creating a great deal of work. Example, if you have strong winds on your body of water, algae for example will be pushed by the winds. In my case I have strong westerly winds so if I locate my beach on the east bank I will get the algae washing up in this area, however if I put it on the west bank, most of the time the early algae will be blown off the beach and not onto it. (Less work?????)Question-Greg, what did you mean when you said it would be a good idea to encourage spawning in an area where you will be walking or swimming such as a beach? Thanks
