>>945307I am going on a fishing trip until Thursday, I will take pictures of the water then.
The ditch starts 3 or 4 miles north in a small series of one or two swamps.
>>945200I forgot to put a compass, up is north, down is south, right is east and left is west on this picture.
Where I wanted to put the first one was where the ditch splits west of the pond because I would then have two sides of it already dug out and then the next one would have two sides and then two sides and so on up to the property line. It is also some lowland in probably a 1/5 of the property if not a little bit more. We have a bridge at the south end of the property crossing the ditch and every few years a beaver comes and plugs it up and when it does the water reaches to about the pond. I wanted to try and dam the pond up some to make the water around my beds deeper so I don't have to dig as deep but either way I'll have to do some digging. The reason I am worried about it being so deep is that I want the fish to survive in the winter. WAYYYY down the road I imagine I could get a windmill to help keep the water open by pumping water around the water in the non flowing areas.
