Just a quick update to say that my lake is almost full. Just a matter of inches to go before she is full. :-)

And then I'll mark off all the areas where the water level came and drain the rascal... ;-(

down to a depth of about 10 feet so I can do some more work this summer.

We stocked 40 pounds of fathead minnows (10 - 16,000?) in it last August so I figure the extra time without any other fish will probably help boost their numbers.

Thinking would possibly stock bluegill & redear either this fall or next spring with other fish next fall or following spring. Still reading and getting advice in what time I have.
