re: Pond Update

We need Clyde to go out there and stand next to the levee for some perspective. I like the layout of the pond and raising that spillway helps a lot. My question is how you gonna keep overflow water from washing out the spillway? Gonna pour some concrete on top of that spillway? I'd get some kind of cover grass growing on that levee ASAP, too.

I will try to do that. I agree it could/should be deeper. Here is what the measurements look like in my estimation...

I am late to this thread but I have a friend in MS who dug his own pond, very similar to OP. Dug it out, built a levee and he installed a pipe system for overflow instead of the spillway method. 
His isn't PVC, it's steel(I think), and it's more basic than the image above. It is shaped like a U and the pipe on the dry side of the levee is 90 degrees back up to the sky and is same height as the trash rack/water line. His was obviously installed early in project.
Pond is 10-12 feet deep
