Have you got on Google Earth and searched the surrounding area for existing ponds? That might give you some idea if other ponds have been successful (or not).

I was looking around my area with Google Earth and was surprised to see a rather large pond (stip pit) in town that I did not know existed yet it had been there all my life and I have drove by it a thousand times. It was hidden by trees.

So you might find some BOW's around you that you did not know existed.
