We have a new lake in S.Texas that hasn't begun to fill. The area around the damn will be approx 35-40 ft and should flood approx 75-100 acres. We haven't begun to stock yet. Being in S.Texas, heat maybe an issue but with the depth it may be possible.
The other place is on a piece of property my wife and I are looking at purchasing. It currently doesn't have a pond but the spring fed draw makes it ideal to damn up. The creek bed is rock and gravel with several large bolders throughout the bottom. I believe that the depth could range from 12-15 ft at the damn and have some pockets closer to 20ft. The Spring should provide an ample flow of cold water into the pond. I got to thinking that it maybe nice to create a SMB fishery vs. LMB. Ofcourse all of this depends on getting the property bought.
