Youve got the fish's version of a Mar e lago there, the fish should be happy!
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

Looks like a fishy place, can someone tell a rookie about the benefits of the red pex added onto the pvc?

Slowly making progress here. Got some seed down on the dam and walk paths before the rain. 2021-04-10_10-46-05

I still love the look of your pond surrounded by the trees and rolling hills.
I am looking forward to the pics when it is at full pool and the sediment has dropped out.

No heavy runoff events yet so the fill has been pretty slow so far this year but what we have got seems to be holding.

Haven't posted in awhile as the heavy rains never came this year. Finally a good storm last week and more on the way tomorrow and Wed. The storm last week added about 4 ft of water to the pond. I have another 4 ft to go. Also have a question about water loss. It looks like I have lost about 6" from the high water mark last week. I'm assuming some loss is normal on a new fill especially 4 ft due to the ground taking in water and saturating. Does this seem like a normal amount of loss or something to be concerned about? Here's a few pics of the pond from today. 20210626_071304 ] 2021-06-25_09-15-05 2021-06-25_09-14-53

Nice to see it filling. I would put a measuring stick in and keep a close watch on it and see if your losses per day get better.

Congrats! Keep an eye on vertical water loss per Bobbs and reach out anytime if you are still seeing daily loss. Tj@hudlandmgmt.com. Happy to help my time is free to the forum family.
