Our settling ponds at the rock farm :rolleyes: Hadn't been any river water in them for decades, yet we had minnows to feed the crappie and bass to cull the crappie population :lol:. Just to complicate matters, somehow Beavers found their way in. We had a low flow channel to a deeper portion of the pit so the cleaner water made it's way to the ground water, silt settled out in the first pond. Beavers liked their pool a little deeper, so bout once a week we had to go clear the beaver dam from the low flow channel :BangHead:
