Hello I am new and this is what I am building. - 09/09/13 02:29 AM
Hi I'm new here. I from Louisiana
First let me say that I have always wanted my own body of water. I feel very fortunate that this has happened for me.
I'm not exactly sure how big it is , but I would say over an acre at this point of construction and its about half complete.
It's also deep. Probably 14-16 feet in some places.
I'll be putting a 4 inch deep well down, along with a 3 horsepower submersible pump. I realize this isnt that big of a pond, but when I look out the back window, it looks like the grand canyon back there. Seriously looks a lot larger in person.
We made a fairly large spawning bed in it Friday, so I need to update the pics.
Mostly I just wanted water on my place to bring in wild game and Ducks, geese and whatnot and also wanted a view.I got tired of looking back there at BLAH, so we started this project about 6 months ago. It's gone quicker than I thought it would actually.
So now, quite naturally, Im very interested in proper management and the possibility of having trophy fish.
I hope you guys won;t mind answering a few questions now and then as I continue this project.
This is the back side.
