Correct Bill. Just trying to capture some water. Mud turtles live in the arroyo (buried deep underground when dry) and will take up residence. If the water becomes permanent, I may stock some minnows, but don't foresee it sustaining any larger fish.

I also have plans for a larger dugout pond at another spot. It may be large, deep, and permanent enough for stocking some something more interesting. Not at that point yet.
