Jawbone,

From your original post, I get the impression that you are draining your pond and starting over with the hope of creating a better balanced fish population. If this is so, I'm curious why you chose draining your pond over using rotenone? Are you planning on doing some further excavation once the pond is drained?

I read in one of your other posts that you plan on adding a concrete dam. If you get a chance can you give us some details on what your plan is? If I'm lucky, the contractor who is going to excavate a little mud hole for me, should be here this week. Usually when I plan something like this, the weather doesn't cooperate but this summer has been so dry, the soil is like concrete. Keep us posted on your progress.
