Pottsy, sold..... I will at some point install that spillway before I try to raise the overall surface water height. The pit guys are busy, I have another 1+ acre of excavated surface water this past week or so in the 8'+ depth at low water height due to little rainfall. The lake appears to be down about 3' overall.

Off topic.... I bought some native bluegill a couple of weeks ago 600 or so near here. They were so dark in color but beautiful marking(almost black) big and thick bodied! Any idea why they would be this dark color living in similar conditions as my lake a very short distance away but gathered throughtout the province for pond stock (gene pool)? Any pondmeister please pipe in. Thanks
