In Texas, we generally call them stock tanks or shorten it to tank. I ran the water impoundment idea by the local NRCS office who told me that there was a possibility for cost sharing. I jumped on that and it was approved by the NRCS. They sent a rep out who agreed with me that the location I had picked was the best bet on my place. And, it isn’t all that great. My place is heavily treed with a heckuva lot of rocks.

I need to go to my place but in 108 degree weather it’s not all that important.


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.
