I updated this in the wrong section so reposting.


Had some trouble with the pond we put in so we lined it with a couple feet of clay and it seems to be holding pretty good. 1.5 acres and 14 ft deep.



About a foot away from drain pipe.

Looking towards my house. Wife is on far right.



Close up for scale




Spring is running good.

Beautiful BOW - beautiful setting, beautiful dwelling, beautiful fishery plan! What's the stocking schedule looking like?

PS: Tell us about the solar panel...how much does it help?

That stocking strategy will be interesting to see a couple of years down the road.

PS are available from a fish supplier in NY. If I remember I'll dig up the name tomorrow.

The solar is for my house. 820 watts of panels and a 660 amp/hr battery bank. It powers all our electric needs. Of course we have a couple of gas wells on our property which really makes our electrical needs small and we also have a gravity spring that supplies our water. Almost completely off grid except for phone.

Still holding but I have a small seep on the backside. I've noticed it has decreased in volume and is only a very small trickle so hopefully sediment is plugging it up. Might be wishful thinking.



Here's how she looks right now.

You know....

That reminds me of a story....

Who am I kidding, there is nothing I can add here that won't get me banned.

I'm guessing you had a similar experience and it didn't work out too well?

The pond looks great, and I can't remember the last time I saw green grass.
Time to get some adult forage minnows stocked.
