Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? My Pond Renovation

Thanks Otto. I'm dispersing the last of the dirt now with a JD 310SJ, and should be done in a couple of weeks. We were able to completely drain the part that we were digging out, and the fish migrated to the West end of the pond (that was the deepest spot). We added dirt between the island and the North shore to make a dam, burying a 4" PVC pipe for an overflow "just in case" and the fish survived just fine. The water was pretty cloudy for a couple of months, but I guess the fatheads and GS that I put in that Spring gave them something to eat while I was making their house bigger. More pics will be added tonight.
