Dave:

In the particular situation of my old pond... I wanted to accomplish several different things.

First, I wanted to let a hord of tresspassers know that the pond was drained. People were coming from 30 miles away and walking a mile to fish this pond. I figured letting them drive that far and walk into a drained, grown up pond was good for them. ;-)

Second, I wanted to do a major overhaul with regard to the pond design and etc. The pond dam had trees on it probably three feet in diameter and several feet of siltation / muck on the bottom.

Third, I wanted to start completely from zero in restocking it.

Fourth, I already owned a trackhoe and it was expeditious. Rest assured though, there is no way I'm going to cut through the dam of my new pond just because I have a trackhoe handy! ;-)

Oops! Must have hit new topic instead of reply to breaking the dam thread. Can someone move this to that thread and then delete this one? Thanks! Jeff

Jeff, I love your idea about letting trespassers walk a long way for nothing. You have a very admirable mean streak.
