I was trying to get close to a 3:1 slope in my diagram. I had started out with a more gradual slope, but I thought it might make fishing difficult when the banks were flooded. On the other hand I would like Cindy to feel comfortable mowing...

I would really appreciate it if other people would comment about the slope of the bank as well. When the pond man starts shaping the bottom I would like to give him a specific ratio to shoot for.

Thanks.
