Kind of.
A good friend is building a lake on his place and we're busy trying to make it heaven on earth for bass and fisherman alike. Unfortunately I lost a phone with all the dirt work pictures, but we had the dirt guy run the dozer up the three drainage courses entering the main body to create a hard 3-4' channel drop all the way up each one. Also added a bunch of humps and mounds around the deeper sections so we can have some varying depth to target through the year.
Now we're busy filling it with as much structure as we can possibly get. Dale made us a great deal on some old flue tile and you'll see it scattered about around the lake as fish condos. We've got about 7' of water to go and we're scrambling to finish up the brush piles, heavy rock, and pea gravel before the (fingers crossed) spring rains fill her up.
A quick overview from the ****
Looking towards the ****
Looking towards the shallows
Heavy brush windrows in the middle of the lake are in about 5-9 feet of water now. You can see a few of the humps that the dirt guy create off the channels he dug.

Start of the dock.
I missed the last work weekend, but they got a bunch more brush and big trees drug into it. One bonus to cutting brush and trees for fish habitat.... more food plots. I'll try to snap a few more pics next time I'm out.
