Your local NRCS office might have a list of contractors that have signed up with them. Mine did. However, the list does not assure that the dozer drivers know anything about pond construction.

Look at ponds around your area and ask who did them and if they were happy with the result.

Educate yourself about pond building PRIOR to starting. I would contact the Pond boss office and buy Mike Otto's book "Just Add Water". It will answer questions that you and I don't know enough to ask.

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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
