I know what you mean, I started finding all kinda gray hairs in the last week or so and I'm only 26!!!!!! The stressful part about it is dealing with all the dumbasses that keep screwing up!

I've got a bout 2' of water in the deepest spot, I planted rye grass to try & help with washing, also help with muddying up so bad, it took good in some place & not so in others, Got my frame for pier in before the water got in though

I have one in the pond where I live now, they work!!!!!! Have had it for about 3 years, Expensive but work. It'll take a few weeks for them to figure it out but when they do the water will be covered in fish under that light, we can drop a jig down under the water & they won't touch it, let barely touch the water & they'll nail it! We will sit out there for hours watching the fish eat the bugs that get knocked in the water.
