this pond was built in around 1980. i remember fishing it once in about 1983. there were very few trees around it at that time because they had just run a d9 over all the ranch with a 20' wide brush chopper behind him. took him about 3 yrs to do it. a few yrs later the trees were thicker and everywhere which hid all the ponds well. when he seen a good spot to build a pond he would unhook it and build one. never used any pipe on them just a earth spillway and never built a road to them either. other than coonhunting in the winter i never seen this pond again in the daytime until today. they had asked me to build a road to it and check the condition of the pond. the spillway has looked like this for at least 5 yrs now but still holding due to the rocks. i took a picture of it but sure wished i had my pole. i opted to leave it be for now and go check some more ponds while clearing fencelines. there are probably 20 more like this in a 1 mile radius of this pond some of which i have totally rebuilt and some that over 8 acres in size. anyway just thought this pond looked interesting

Neat pictures. Thanks for sharing. I would have had a hard time not going back for my pole!

Interesting is an understatement.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Very nice pond. That looks like one big piece of equipment in the third photo.
