Thanks Rod, fortunately that was before fish were stocked.
The construction company got a first rate education on how to rebuild the dam. We added a 19" drain pipe and they built a wide secondary spillway with a very gradual incline.

However, that's where the GSF and YBH were naturally stocked. frown This was before discovering Pond Boss, (Yep, I was someone who thought you just need to dig a hole, fill it with water and then add fish). They ate my initial stocking of BG.

Also fortunately for me that the pond didn't cost me anything but dirt, ( And some dumb tax) they needed dirt, I needed a pond smile

Working hard on corrective actions.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice!!
