Except for one rain event where one spillway was actually utilized, my ponds drain through 8" tiles whose inlets are blocked with netting and a grate to prevent any large fish from exiting. Before I put the grate on the second pond, I got to walk through the woods below the drain collecting YP and SMB, trying to get them back to the pond alive. No more.
