Well, I'm not really "digging" it out. The dirt that is exposed is just that, and I'm scraping it down little by little, then forming piles around the perimeter of the pond. But, at the water's edge is clay and I'm slowly scraping it out (up the bank) and forming a bowl-like rim around the back-side of the pond. It's held water to it's normal depth, just trying to get it to catch more water and hopefully add depth the easy way.

There are those who love to catch fish, and those who fish for the opportunity to catch.
