Newbie needs stocking Help - 08/23/05 09:33 PM
Having a leaking 3/4 to one acre pond re-cored in a couple of weeks. Pond always leaked, never could find water anywhere around it. Since it is vertually a mud puddle now, I am having it redug and re-cored. Contractor thinks I will double the volume of water when full. Overall size will still about an acre. Depth up to 20'. Run off creek that feeds it. Had C cats that thrived for 10 years even when it got real low. I want more! I put a truck load of Bentonite in it last fall to try to seal the leak and killed off my fish. Now it is a vendetta. My wife grew up on this land and we built our dream house next to this pond after moving away for 20 years. My first priority is to hold water. My second is to have a fun fishery for sport and an occasional fish fry. The pond is clean of brush with clean banks. Besides C cats, what else can I expect to raise in it for sport? Thanks in advance guys.
