dave, thanks for your reply, Our place is located about 25 mi. north or Brownwood, near May and Rising Star, Tx. The pond is of great material and am told "will hold like a jug". The dam divides it from another pond about 3 acres, stocked with primarily lmb. I am considering fh and then bg for forage, and go with cc for main next spring. No cover, no structure in pond, just new clay/shale bottom and dam.
