We just bought a property in Northwest Arkansas partially because it has a 3/4 acre pond. What I know about the pond is that there were fish in it as recently as the 1960's. It has been used only to water cows forever, the dam is about 20 feet tall, it has never gone dry, has fallen trees in it and is so full of duckweed I can't see any water. And if you stand and look at for it too long you will get Chigger bites.

This is going to be an adventure. Thanks in advance for the help. crazy

Welcome to the forum, beefys!!!

Chiggers are everywhere, so I'm guessing you're allergic to their bites....my wife is also, and I never show a sign of a bite.

Fish as "recently" as the 1960's??? If it has been 50 years without any management, and had lots of cattle, it is likely pretty shallow from soils moving to the deepest areas, and loaded with lots and lots of smaller size fish.

We are in the same area. Please let me know if you need help. I renovated a pond in August 2015.

Hey!! Welcome from the southwest! I have family in your area. Two sisters live there with their families. This is a great place to be, you'll learn ALOT! I wish I would've found it before I started my pond!
