Update: The new pond now has just over 6 FOW in it and is spread out well over 1/8 acre already. Last weekend I stocked 45 six to eight inch CC, 35 two to three inch RES and about 150 FHM. Two big piles of brush and piles of rocks and bricks are in there.

Edit 3/21 - Now just about thirteen inches to go to reach full pool. I stretched the latest rain by diverting runoff from the creek with my 2" pump. I look at it as increasing my available watershed. A two inch rain effectively becomes as big a rain as I take time to pump.
