Eric,

Yea I forgot we had snow in that pic. It was filling very slowly during the winter with every thaw. Then about 2 weeks ago we had a 1 1/4" rain over a 3 day period, and that filled it up to where there was water coming into the overflow pipe. The location is in a field where a drainage ditch had filled in over time. The natural flow is from the swamps upstream to my pond. Every good rain should add some water to the pond and hopefully offset any evaporation. The only thing that gives me pause is if we get a heavy rain when already full. I don't have my rip rap installed on my spillway yet. Can't get a tractor in there yet.
