My new pond project was completed yesterday at noon. It is 4.7 surface acres,14.5 ft deep at the dam. I added two earthen piers to remove more dirt and get depth at the middle section of the pond. I also had a future house pad build next to the pier with the best view point of the lake. The dam took 20K yards and is wide enough to have the drive way cross it. The Pier has been started but work stoped when my post hole auger decided to find china and the shear pin failed. 400$ later I have a new auger and drive line. Hope to finish getting the pier post in this weekend. Plan to also start adding more fish structure. I'm going to use tires and concret block. I can't believe how cheap they still are. As I mentioned before the pond has a 300 acre watershed. I have built a smaller silt catch pond above the main one per advise I got here at PB. Thanks for everyones help and I will post again if it ever rains and fills it up. I would like to share pic's but my website is down for a while. If anyone who knows how to post the pic's here to share with everyone and would be so kind please email me and I will send them. thanks to all again.
