Thanks for all the replies
The pond across the street is uphill from our place, the run-off from our place goes through the woods and eventually to a large creek. it doesn't show up very well in the photos but in the first picture, there is a bridge just to the left of the intersection, that's where the creek is. and honestly, it doesn't seem to be doing much running lol. it's puddling up more than anything
the pond across the street has been there since AT LEAST 1992 according to google earth. pretty nice looking pond from what i've seen. my buddy got rights to it when he purchased 5 acres across the road so i need to go fish in it sometime.
i'm in no hurry to hire anybody yet. i've searched on here for alabama and have been reading "anna's" thread about her pond, from what i can gather she's not too terribly far from me. maybe an hour drive or so? so i'd like to see how her project turns out and maybe talk to her contractor too.
Should i wait until the ground is somewhat dry before i try the post hole diggers? it has been raining for 3 days so everything is saturated right now. i've read enough to gather that clay is good, right? i may dig a little this weekend and see if i can find some clay.
Theo, what's a spaghetti ranch? i've never heard that phrase before....and yes there is quite alot of road frontage lol
