Sounds like it worked out well ST!
Good luck on getting some gentle fall rains.
Try to start seeding in your vegetation cover ASAP on all of the clay/top soil that is currently bare in the drainage area to your pond.
You can even start land plants in the first couple of feet of your pond slopes to hold that material in place. It might be a while until your pond reaches full pool, and those plants will die will they do finally go under water.
