Well the boss and I have been dreaming of having a pond for the grandkids and my dad (96years old) to be able to fish together.
I have attached a few pictures of the progress

Looks good Tram, did you have to line it or put down clay? Is it filled naturally or do you have to pump water in?

Heard he is buying bass at $30 a pound big or small. Load them up and bring them down.

As someone that loves to fish I’d have to say that’s an awesome project. Nothing better than a good old farm pond.

It has a good natural clay bottom. The dozer guy had to use rippers to be able to push the materials out. Even at 8+ feet deep in the center he never broke through the clay.
Yes I have a well that we will use exclusively to fill and maintain water level.

Yep local fishery told me largemouth bass going for $25-$30 a pound!

Nice!

Be a lot easier/cheaper to build a dock now then after it's filled.......I think 🤔
