Picture of my pond

[Dozernut]

Man that is nice! How many acres is it and about how deep when it full? Any springs or is it just run off?

Around four acres, the photo only shows part of the pond. 12' is the depth by the dams (yes there are two dams) there were two large gullys and one dam was kept open to allow the water to drain while building the pond.The average depth runs 4'-6' with sheves and under water islands for structure for the fish.The pond fills with area drainage.

I use the aquatic herbicide Avocet plx, it does not harm the fish. Roundup will work but the surfactant will kill off your amphibians. I mix it in a pump sprayer or my 12 volt tank sprayer and it does the job very well. Just don't spray before a rain so it does not rinse off, it takes about a week to see them start to die.

Thanks for the info.

The weather is brutal with the low temps and wind so I decided to post a picture of my pond in the Spring before the drought.View attachment 298978

I have 2 to 2.5 acre shared pond. When we were looking at the house I asked the real estate agent the same question you asked. I thought she had a clever answer. If it is in a cow pasture it's a pond. If it has houses around it it's a lake.
