You are gonna enjoy it when it gets full. We sure like ours which is out behind our house.
I can tell your dog already enjoys it (picture previous page). I cleaned out my sons old pond which had went completely dry because of age and a dam breach many years ago. Son has a big dog named "Woody". Every time they go anywhere near the pond now that it is a pond with water again, Woody is in it. He loves the pond.

Looks like you're about to have a fishin hole.
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.

I kinda like that idea. Are there harmful chemicals from the roofing shingles that leech out into the pond water?

Some shingles have algae inhibitors in them, but I think that the amount washed into the pond vs. how many gallons of water are in a pond is a moot point.

Great looking place. Good luck with the water hold and hopefully a artisan well to boot! Thanks for all the pictures. I may have missed it, but how deep will it be at pool? the boulders are a real nice touch I have not done just yet.
Life is more fun with a pole in your hand.

The DEP agent was the one who suggested picking up the down spouts and said it was "good" water.
Full pool depth will be 16' I figure it's about 1/3 full now though with 8' of water in it. It really widens out a lot as it gets fuller.

Set two of the old telephone poles that will be dock posts. You can see the water has cleared up a lot. As soon as ground dries a little more I will put in the other supports and plant all of these cypress trees along the property line.

Put 100# of rainbow trout in a few weeks ago. Now I can go catch dinner all winter long. Plan to catch them all out for the initial spring stocking.
