Moving up the North Shoreline. They rented a dozer to work over the shallow area last weekend while I was stuck in the office. All this area was high and dry last weekend.

New small cut running into the channel on the right

Big hump against a tree to help mark it.

Added a mound around this stump just off the channel

A view looking into the far East shallow end. The rest of my pictures down here were real fuzzy and don't show anything, but the trees you can see just the the left should be just a few inches under water to help grow grass and make a spawning area. There's a channel around the island that will be 2.5-3' deep so you can run a boat around it.

View looking down the main channel heading back towards the main body of the lake.

They added a bunch of these cuts and little mini drops along the shallow area. Not sure how long they will last, but while they do it should provide ambush areas. We'll see if they are in enough water to be productive.

I'm trying to think of what could make this place more awesome but nothing is coming to mind. Maybe a draw bridge...
Originally posted by unclefish View PostWow looks great!
I can't believe how clear the water is....usually a new pond with all that red dirt it could stay muddy for several years unless you treat it with Aluminum Sulfate or Gypsum.

Moving out of the shallows now.

Gravel, Gravel, Gravel. Pea Gravel is a bad word on the green screen and to my back. The whole south bank has the gravel spawning beds.

Another little mound that drops into the channel behind it.

This is very cool. They fashioned an old tank da m off the end of the middle point. Dug out deep on the left. The whole thing is covered in gravel now as well.

Another cut that runs side of the old tank da m. Also covered in gravel.

Last ones from this past weekend.

Long sloping point with gravel beds and the lake inspector photo bombing. The two orange flags in this picture represent the final water level.

Farther down the bank. On the far left side you can see a rock pile just barely sticking up. There's another rock pile just beyond the grass at center that is all ready under. You can see the very tips of the brush out in the center. We marked the larger deep brush piles, humps, stumps and fish condos with duck decoys. Mallard hen is going to be a hog maker.

Last picture. Far south bank on the inlet that leads to the two culverts. (they are directly behind me in the picture). Brush just right of center is a hump and the channel runs on either side of it. We put a row of cedars between where I was standing and the hump. Water should back up 20-25' into the trees on the left.
