Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Minimal pond size that can self-sustain LMB

Hey Robert,


+2 to what the other guys said. I would stock 10 LMB or less, depending on what size you end up making the pond.

You've probably got this covered but, just in case....Even with a small pond, there will be a whole bunch of dirt to get rid of. An excavated 1/8 acre pond with an average depth of 8 feet will yield about 1600 yards of dirt (About 160 10yd truck loads). Do you have a plan for that? Moving dirt very far can get very expensive.

Good Luck!
