Judging from what's happened with neighbors, these impoundments usually fill up in a year or so with run-off. It's taking the water from around 35 acres-- give-or-take. We'd be able to stock it after it one winter's precip filling it. Max depth as my neighbor planned it is 40+ feet at the dam. I think he's not being realistic-- the state might let 20-30 feet go. We'll adjust to fit reality.

Here's a lake we see on the way into Falmouth that's smaller, but has some of the same feel.

You can see from the aerial view the dam itself is pretty deep.
