FishinRod, I haven't completely stopped my leek, but I've improved it a lot. I cut my losses per day by more than half, maybe down to a third of what they were. I might treat it again later.
I will only have water flowing over on the bigger rains. My water shed area isn't very big, so I wouldn't think I'd have a lot flowing over.
I have thought about some type of fence, and I've also thought doing something with rock to kind of make a filter.
Retired on 40, what all sizes of rock did you use? I don't think my spillway is as wide as yours, but it is pretty wide. I can drive my truck through it. My spillway area is the least steep area of my whole pond. I can't say for sure until I see water flow over and see for sure where the highest point is, but my slope heading in might be close to 15:1.
I went down about 9:30, and checked on it (in the dark) and it had come up 20 inches so far, and hard to say for sure but I don't think I had more than 12" or so to go, It was still raining and water flowing in hard from the sediment pond. I think most of the heavier rain is over, but it is still raining and supposed to rain most of the time till tomorrow evening. I will be surprised if it isn't flowing over by morning, there is a good chance it already is. Hopefully I don't lose any of my biggest bass.
Thanks again guys.
