Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Selecting Times to Feed

The far area is just the yellow clay at low light.

The hump is decorated with 3-5" limestone rip rap. It should be reachable on a cast from the dam.

On the right corner of the pic there are some larger limestone chunks that basically border a 2-4' drop and trench.

Our dam ended up being almost a long U shape and all of it got rip rapped 3-4' high...half in and half out of water at full pool.

Wind out there was probably the most surprising feature of the land. Rarely do we see calm smooth water. My hope is mother nature will bless us with a little rain this spring and get the water level into the rip rap. Water level has basically been just at the bottom of the rip rap and the wind/white caps are stirring up the clay in the pond as the waves beat on the shore. She has been a little resistant to the rain dances recently but it'll come. I suppose until that happens we'll count our blessings for the wind helping to keep the O2 levels up in the pond :p
