The north bank is eroding (strong south winds are common). The cut is about 3ft tall and it's starting to move pretty quickly. The pond has cattle most of the yr.

2 ways I see to address it;
Fill with rocks and gravel...
Or
Use a skid steer to remove soil and shape it into a much less steep slope. Plant grass...

Anybody with experience or ideas? I really want to stop it from silting in. I'm afraid a flatter slope will encourage trampling and wading from the cattle. Rock on the other hand would be quite the project.

Been a while but I came up with my solution... lots of rocks. Even added a point to the pond.

The rock looks great!

The added "point" also looks great.

My only recommendation is to save one of your biggest flat rocks and place it just above water level at the end of the point. It will be a magnet for kids to cast from when fishing the pond.



I fibbed - make that two recommendations. I would also recommend that you place some additional structure in the pond within casting distance of the point. Kids (and adults) will know just where to cast to drag their lure just past the structure.

Have fun with your new and improved pond!
