Pond I have been building

[Bige]

This is after about six months of work. It rained a little and already holds water from just an inch of rain. It's about 150 ft long and 50 ft in the widest spot. Probably will stock with bass.

That's the tractor I used.

You can see the barn in the distance

This is some of the dirt that I made into a ramp for my mother in law to jump. Theres no landing ramp.

Just as a reference, that water is 2 feet deep.

Awesome! Ive always loved having ponds... Unfortunately, now that I live in an apartment, I obviously cant have one. Where I grew up, we had one that was about 100 feet long and probably at least 60 wide, and almost 10' deep. It was a man made, spring fed beauty! Nestled right into the woods, surrounded by brush... Stocked with bass and some small fish... And of course big frogs!

How deep are you planning on making it? And out of curiosity... How much land do you own?

I have 35 acres. Its about 20ft deep and honestly, thats as deep as I can go. It took so much work to get it where it is. I can post a pic of the other pond I have. Its 70 x 70, at least. Its stocked with blue cats. Some are over 2 ft long. And taste so good! We have had a bad drought so there is no water.

It's blue because of pond dye. It's still about 6 ft deep. Usually over 20, 25 ft deep. I'm building a pier tomorrow, at least starting it.

Those specks on the right are ducks.
