Enlarge Existing Pond - 09/22/05 08:04 PM
Hey guys----new to the forum. Can't believe I didn't find it sooner.
I currently have a small pond. 10+ years ago my wife's family fished it all the time...probably damn near out. (Germans). After we started dating, I started fishing it, but never got a bite. (I've fished since I was a kid, and consider myself fairly decent). Like a lightswitch, the fish started biting...up to 4lbs. I now want to enlarge the pond.
It is currently about 1/3 to 1/2 acre. I would like to dig it out, build up the dam, and bring the surface to about 2 acres. It is currently down (the lowest I've seen it). Do I just start digging around the edges and building up the dam?
HELP!!
