hey all
I'm new to the overall pond experience. Excavated old hay field which has pretty good red clay but contains gravel veins. Lined whole bottom with ~12" blue clay. Repaired a couple large bottom leaks last fall but still can't keep fill. when it is filled, loses an inch or so per day. No natural runoff but have a well to fill. Looking for some advice.

I have seen lots of discussion on Soilfloc. How well does this work if I don't know where the leak is? Somewhere on the flat where the depth will be about 6'. Bottom hole is ~10', holding water at 4'. It will fill but drains back down to the same level each time. I can't find an obvious hole, but it has to be there! Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It has been a lifelong dream to have a pond and I know my site as above is not ideal, but hey, nothing but time right?
Thanks
