Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Texas pond sites

I'm not necessarily looking for a place with a pond on it already. In fact, I just assumed that I would buy the land first, and then build. I figure that might be easier to build one from the ground up.

So is the general consensus that East Texas is the best place? M wife and I are both in our early 30's and I really want to settle down someplace where I can do some fishing on my own spread.

Honestly, my wife's job is probably going to necessitate that we live somewhere near one of the major cities such as Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. However I plan on living well outside the metropolitan areas. If we live a county or two counties over, then I guess we will have to deal with it. See our deal is this, she was born in Texas and wants to get back. I agreed to move back there on the basis that I get a pond. Thus, here we are in the beginning stages.
