Hello everyone, I'm very excited and thankful to join pond boss. I live in far northeast kansas and just started building my first pond (or very expensive hole) couple weeks ago. Currently running a D6 and sheepsfoot roller on the dam.. 2 more feet of dam to proposed waterline. Specifics: -Pond should be a little under 3 acres -deepest 15' -very little water under 2.5' (steep banks)
Goals: -clearer water than normal -smallmouth bass as #1 priority -natural structure only -healthy diversified plant life
Things to do: -finish pond -import rock and boulders from surrounding area -stock forage fish and crawfish -monitor water levels.. I may drill a well and run a windmill for permanent clear and cool water source -plant banks and buffer zone
I will have lots of questions... Thanks in advance,,,
