We have had such a dry couple years I have several ponds very nearly completely dry and one that is totally dry at this point. I’ve started cleaning out what I can without blowing a hole in the dams particularly if they have fish. Some of ponds that do not have fish I may go ahead and knock a drain in the dam and really be able to clean those out well. That one pond as the water dried up there was a ridge running across the bottom cutting it at about 1/4 to 1/3. I don’t know why that was there seemed pretty odd to me so cleaned out as much of it as I could until the water finally started flooding me out last thing I did was push into the other water hole to connect them at least all my fish trapped in the smaller pool can get into the main body of the pond now. Darn gray herons are putting the hurt on my fish as it dries up.
