Two inches so far, would like two more but I'll take what I can get.

How are my PB east Texas bros doing?

Not E Tex but 90 miles North of Fort Worth I got 2.9 inches of badly needed rain.

1-1/2” first rain in 4 months

BTW, that 2.9 came over 3 days.

Did any of that rain make it to your ponds? we got several inches here over the last week but very little of it made it to the ponds, most of it got sopped up by the dry ground, but that was necessary too.
Hang in there guys, the rainy season is ahead of us, hopefully our ponds will fully replenish and be full by spring time. A little rain dance couldn't hurt either!

I got 1 and 8/10 is all!! I need a tropical storm!!

I got 2.2 inches and not much discernible change. But, it beats more hot and dry.

We got 3" last week over a day & a half or so & about an inch Sunday night & yesterday. Pond's up about 8" since & we've got about 2' more to go to hit full pool. This summer's drought only dropped the water level about 18", but the last bout of excavation dropped it well over a foot.

I'm actually impressed with how well it's held water over this summer. If it's seeping anywhere, the spring's doing a heck of a job hiding the water loss & if it's not seeping, at least the spring is keep the worst of the evaporation at bay.

We're about to put the whistle in & I'm sure it'll be flowing well before the flowers bloom. Mine drains ~5 acres of pasture/hay & with the spring flowing, it won't take long at all. I'm actually hoping I can get the geotextile cloth down on the intended spawning beds before it comes up much more.

Hope y'all Texas bubbas get the rain yer needing.

Thanks, CC. Glad to hear you are doing relatively well despite the drought.

I think it makes a big difference when you have some constant water inflow, even a trickle like at my place. Total reliance on rainfall puts you in a risky spot during droughts.

I got 3.25" this past weekend. Ponds came up about a foot. Put the boards in the riser box on the duck pond. It has about 2-2.5' but I need about another foot before it starts spreading out.

Jake, I got some runoff but it was what we call a farmers rain. Slow soaker with not much runoff.

We filled and are running through the spillway just a bit. I opened the bottom drain to pull it back down. We'll be running until next July now.
