Never heard of them but that’s not unusual.

My advice. Drive around the area and look for ponds/tanks. Stop, introduce yourself, and ask who dug it, whether they would use them again, and if there was anything they would have done differently.

Get someone who has experience digging impoundments, not just clearing land or cutting grade.

If this is your first rodeo, buy Mike Otto’s book. “Just Add Water”. It costs just a little more than a gallon of diesel.


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.
