Hi All,
Nice community here with lots of good information to be found. I've been reading for a year or so and decided to no longer lurk.
I've got property in west central Indiana, and would like to build a pond on it. Choosing a site is the main question at the moment.
Anyway, looking forward to discussing some ideas. I'll start another thread for that in the proper forum location.

Welcome!!!


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

A good central IN (Russiaville) resource for pond design, fisheries, and management explore American Pond and Lake Management. Tell them of the Pond Reference.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Is there still a pond builder in Greencastle that was a member here several years ago?

Im east of crawfordsville. Unfortunately the guy who built my first and best pond retired. I finally got something ok on my second pond after 4 different guys. Two attempters and 2 repairers. I built my final 2 ponds myself, not because I like it, but only because it was easier than hiring. Best of luck!
