Was over there in mid July. Rain all around, we got maybe 2 inches, but slow. Had 4 ft. deepest. There in Sept, had 2 1/2 ft. Been a big high pressure since then. Well, it's just fish. Now wont have to dig a hole to put them in while redoing it this fall. Will just have to buy some bigger ones to stock for instant fishing for the grandkids. Just have to get it good shape to manage it from afar.
