My questions is if I drain the pond down roughly 1 or 2' would this cause any problems. My plan is to lower the water level so that it would allow me to work on the controlling the erosion that is starting to occur on the spillway. My concern is harming the fish.

Pond is 2.5 acres and probably gets to close to 3 acres when overfilled after a big rain. Fish include 400 YP, 200 BG, 150 RES, 15 GP.

Max depth at full pool is 12' and average depth is probably 5-6'
