It's been a while since I've sent an update. I was waiting for the whole "dam" issue to be resolved...and happily, the guy who did the work on the dam returned and we got it all fixed. I took the time to put in some structure, a dock, and surprisingly, right after I put in the 90 degree elbow - we got 9" of rain in August. That raised me a full 4' and my pond is now the way I wanted it when I started!


4 more feet of dam

4 more feet of pipe



The better half working on the dock with me



Old & new shoreline perspective from the dam





View from the deer stand



Fishin' -n- swimmin' dock


Finally full pool after 9" of rain in August.

Neat looking place. You've done it right.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Beautiful place. What is the pole that is on the dock?

Thanks guys, it's been a long haul, and as you all know, it's really never done!

Jeff, the pole is a rope swing. Works pretty well too!

Yes, I would suggest a trebuchet [since Theo is back on trebuchets today] with a moment arm capable of launching a 5" green sunfish into a geosynchronous low earth orbit. Of course, one wonders if the velocity required would result in enough friction and subsequent heat formation to vaporize the sunfish on the way to its destination.

You can rest assured Yolk that if I ever build a trebuchets, and if, after testing it on BG, I find that a fish can survive the flight, that I will have Theo calculate the trajectory required to bombard your pond with GSF. My gift to you.

Sorry, I was having a nostalgic moment. My Dad, who was a highway engineer for the State of California, use to say that. Once we had a solution to a problem, dad would say "Good enough for Government Work."

Rest assured, Yolk, if I was going to resort to name calling it would be far, far worse than "Gub."
