Lost my lake and my fish on Memorial Day. Apparently the Grapeland area had 11 plus inches over night. There were several others that lost their dams that night as well. The good news is nobody was hurt and it can be repaired. The bad news is I have to start over on growing my fish.

That’s a shame! The previous owner of our place built a beautiful 3/4 acre pond with a dam / levee but he didn’t install an overflow… with all of this rain I have lost so many feesh that it would make a grown salty old man cry! You’ll have great memories rebuilding your pond and your feesh herd. When the next drought hits, I’m installing an overflow :-)

Originally posted by .243 WSSM View PostThe emergency spillway is typically at either end of the dam. Is the cut in the dam where the pipe outlet was or was there no pipe? Was this a do it yourself pond or did you hire a contractor? Any contractor worth a darn would have surveyed it and constructed it with controls in place to mitigate wash outs
