I had guessed that it would take 6 months to fill. The guy who built it guessed a month. It took 2 weeks 6 days. All of the grass around it is rye. I hope to replace all of it with Bermuda this summer.
Greg put the fish in down by the dam. When I left, about 3 hours later, there were little splooshes on the surface 900' upstream in the shallow end.
The shallow end got as deep as 6'10" during last weeks rain. It has finally settled at 6" 2". The siphons never siphoned. But there sure was a lot of water going through them. Here is a picture of the "normal" everyday flow coming out of the lower siphon. The other siphon is just a trickle now.
