Eddie, I'm more concerned about the slope below the water line.
It's a 4:1 slope about 6 ft under the water line, then goes to a 3:1 from 6 ft to about 10 ft deep, then is about 2:1 the rest of the way.
My clay is about 7 ft under from grade, so to seal the banks I have to spread clay down that far.
I just can't do a slope steeper than 4:1 with my D6C dozer, found that out yesterday after I had to change my underwear!
I just don't want cattails & other weeds choking the banks of my pond...
I used a 4 ft long level and a tape rule, it's pretty much 4:1 all around the pond down to about 8 ft from grade, then it gets steeper.
