Thanks for the replies guys! Eric, thanks for the links.The Max depth of pond is 28 ft,right now it is about 8 ft low and formed a 20 ft fishbowl.As far as the water level coming back, when I bought the property in Jan 2002 the surface area was about an acre, (previous owner did a drawdown to replace a gate valve)and by that July 4th the water was overflowing. Thats why I'm not too worried about it (of course this will be the spring of no rain).As usual answers bring more questions.Would this effect the cattails, being out of the water and frozen for some time? Or should I manually remove them while I have a chance? Bill, my pond seems to thrive off of a periphtyon based type of ecosystem (http://www.pondboss.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000976#000005
How do you think this might be affected?
Thanks Jimmy
