Thanks Jay C. I guess I have some homework to do because you you made a few key points that are foreign to me. I bought the home with the pond already there and the spillway has been continuously deteriorating. It's good to know I'm at least on the right track. I don't have tons of money so this will be a repair I have to make myself. I'm pretty handy but I want to make sure I do it right so as to avoid further cost. We would like to put a small beach on the opposite side of the pond but this problem is preventing not only that but it's majorly stressing my fish population.

I have a pond that is stocked. It's about a .25 acre. The pond has a poorly constructed and badly damaged spillway that keeps my water level down due to the enormous amount of water that rushes under it. I want to tear this thing completely out and repair the gap by extending the earth damn across that span. I live just south of Louisville, Ky if that info helps. Is what I want to do feasible? Any help and advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
