hi Chad, welcome to PB!

Sounds like you have a really good "opportunity" for a nice fishing spot. In general I recommend you do in depth reading on the PB site - this can help answer a lot of questions + you may also consider subscribing to PM Magazine. As far as specific answers to your pond question, it might help to have someone with pond building experience take a look at it firsthand...a local pond building contractor or your local NRCS agent would be a good start.

There are things to consider like watershed, possible permits, dam construction, soil types and availability...ect. before digging.

I'm sure others will have good advice on this topic too! Good Luck and keep posting the details.
