Hey, that's gonna be neat.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

hi hugh, just thought i would throw out a suggestion for you to help get some feedback on yer progress. as you post the pics, maybe describe to us a little of what your trying to achieve, and post your questions along the way....some examples...such as how your dam was constructed, was it cored (built with a keway)?what are your soils like?, what structural elements are you digging/installing for fish habitat, how will your pond drain?, what feeds the pond?

It looks like you have the makings of another God granted slice of heaven....similar to Brettski's young paradise. If you havent checked out some of Brettski's construction threads, they are worth a look, full of ideas and the emotional ups and downs going along with becoming a true pondmeister.

thanks for your time to share your dream
