It holds steady for fairly long times, but also changes level as much as +/- a foot in a day. Really not consistent at all. I'm assuming that means there's probably a big hole in

hmmm....more variation than I would have guessed.  What supplies the upstream pond?   Does it fluctuate with rain runoff?

BTW, I did say we're in a sinkhole area, right? It's quite possible it has a little sinkhole under it now... in which case it might be deeper than I thought, but in the wrong way.

Looking for a torn piece in the liner seems more straightforward, though with the murk and trees, still not an easy one. Can the water fall be closed off for a while to let water level decrease further?

Answered below... yes, but I don't want to kill the fish, so it's complicatd.

well, was thinking not about fully draining it, just getting it to the point where you could walk about, standing on bottom.   maybe 4.5.'   You could quickly sweep out the branches, and maybe spot the liner miss.

But...if you think there could be a sinkhole, that becomes unattractive!
