Thanks everyone. I too can't wait for it to fill, I'm not thinking that is going to happen until next fall at the earliest. I'm hoping for 1/2 - 3/4 pool next summer so I can try to get some jungle val (Vallisneria Americana) established. After I get to full pool I will put 4-6 patches of pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata) around the bank to see how I (and the fish) like it. I am seriously thinking of filling in the area that has spring water in it now (up to the "shelf" above it) with rip rap so I can give crayfish a fighting chance against the YP and WE that will eventually inhabit my impoundment.
