Hi everyone, My name is jeff. I don't yet have a pond but have plans to have one "made" starting sometime late fall. Working with a well respected contractor who knows the area well. South Central Indiana is the location of the property. Expecting the pond to be approximately 2+/- acres. I am including a picture of the basin area the pond will be in. The dam will be towards the left in the tall trees and the pond will not extend beyond the fence line shown. I do not currently live in the area but will be there during construction and plan to take a lot of photos during construction. Hoping for a low maintenance pond with nice scenic and fishing possibilities. Thought of having tall grass and wildflower around much of the perimeter. The dam is to include a drain,an overflow pipe and spillway. I have visited the forum many times before joining to learn as much as I can and would welcome any comments or suggestions from others.
