[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 998594, member: 18945"] Right now, about 7' at the deepest. Started off 15' + deep back in the late 60s, but 40 years of pine needles and oak leaves washing into it have filled it in. No way to drain it other than cutting the dam and I can't spend the $$ on a dragline or dang big excavator to deepen it. Can't risk cutting the dam and have another drought year leave me with no way to water cattle. My dock has 4-5' of water at the end of it. In 2011 August, I built the dock and never got my feet wet or muddy. Got lots of bass and a fair amount of crappie but I haven't kept any to eat in recent years because I was afraid the water was too stagnant. We won't intentionally swim in it either. [/QUOTE]
