They just finished my 1.5 acre pond this week. I just limed it as per instructed by the biologists. After I get all my habitat built and placed I am planning on filling it with the river. The biologist doesn't like the idea. He has agreed that a fish kill after it is filled will work. He strongly recommends not using it to maintain water level do to contamination with fish and eggs. My question is there anyway to filter out the fish and eggs using a trash pump? Would letting the water run through the pasture grass work?
Thanks for the help.
