Dave/Bill, The wetland overflows into the tank and this year showed us the excess potential. Since the wetland is 2+ac and only has a 80x40x4ft deepend, do you think we should make a larger portion deeper? Our dozer guy really likes the topsoil and proximity to his yard. so it may be really cheap to expand. The consideration is that in drier years a shallow wetland will fill the primary BOW faster. Altogether, the tank overflowed for nearly 2 months in just the last 5 months. Plan for feast or famine...both will happen!
The fish truck is coming to the local feed store next Thursday so I will get FH and BG from them. Cheaper and easier than a hour drive to Arms!


How are you going to know unless you try!

A thought. Those fish trucks generally come fromArkansas and make a lot of stops on the way. The fish are rarely in good condition.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
