Pond filling is picking up speed now that water is coming in from the pipe running from the creek. There's about 9 feet of water in front of the dock, 10 or 11 feet at the deepest point. At this rate I expect water to be spilling into the drainpipe by the end of March.

Very nice! Looks quite a bit different than the first set of pictures you showed us, doesn't it?
What type of predators will you stock and when?

I'm keeping it simple at first - bluegill and largemouth this year. I want to see how successful I am at keeping a decent forage base. I may add HSB somehwere down the road.

She's comin' along real nice, Rob. I hope you don't hit the same brick wall I did at 3 feet to go. I suspect you won't with the precip we keep sending along to PA.

RobA, If you are looking for HSB in the future check out http://www.delmarvaaquatics.comI was in contact with them last year and bought some for my uncles pond. the price was $40 for 100. They are much more fun to catch than LMB in my opinion. They are located in Delaware not far from you.
Dreaming of the pond!

They are only about 15 minutes further away than my LMB/BG/FH supplier who doesn't supply HSB any more.

That's nice but why the white sand? Does that stop erosion or something? 
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Sand?? That's lime. I thought I read somewhere on this site that you should add lime to a pond.
