Hello everyone -
I am getting ready to renovate and expand an old pond in Fayette County, TX. I would love to hear if any of you have any high quality & proven pond builders that you would recommend. The renovation will include deepening and dam repair and then we will expand from about 0.5 acres to 2-1/2+ acres. My objective is to create a good bass fishery and a nice eye-piece for the property, not simply "a hole in the ground with water"!
Mike Otto is helping with design but doesn't bring his equipment this far south to do the construction.
Thanks in advance for your help.
If Though Desire Rest, Desire Not Too Much.

Look for local ponds. Talk to the owners. Ask what they would have done differently. Then, ask who dug them and whether they would use them again.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
