Novice pond guy here. This past fall I purchased a home with an approx 1/4 acre pond on it. The fishing is excellent for my kids with perch, hybrid bg, and bass. PLUS, plenty of turtles. There is some room to enlarge the pond, creating a kidney type shape to approx 1/2 acre. My question is, what process do I need to do involving this. I figured I'd have to rework the dam. However, can I add on to the dam creating the outline and then the final would remove the existing dam? Or should I drain first first, then build again? I know there's a lot of questions, I just want to get this correct when I do it. I figured it would be a November project. As from what previous land owner stated, its been there for 40 years, so I figured that I'd probably need to work on the bottom of the pond as well. Anyway, any info and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch. BTW, I'm in SW MO if that helps anything. -Jack
