I apologize for not keeping up with this thread. My pond is finished and I will get pictures up as soon as I can of the whole process.It all went quite well for the most part and the pond ended up being closer to 1/2 acre than 1/3 which is fine with me. I has a max depth of 12 feet. My pond will not have much water shed so I am using a 3 inch trash pump to fill it up from a creek about 250 feet away. Just about 3/4 of the way full now. Plan to stock RES, SMB, and possibly some grass carp.
