John is absolutely right. There is no shortage of dozer drivers who know how to push dirt and cut grade but know nothing about building a structure that will hold water.

The NRCS offices in my area have a list of dozer operators but there are no requirements for inclusion. I think I would drive around the area looking for ponds. Stop, introduce yourself, and ask who built the pond and whether they would use that person 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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
