Sup, Well I got me a small pond 1/4 acre stocked with bluegill and channels. I recently decided to expand the pond by about an circular area about 75 total feet. I'm doing this by shovel to lol. I wont go into why i'm using a shovel but i got one end started at the top of the dam I started its like 6 foot in the pond. My questions is how wide should my dam be for a pond this small cause my freind has a pond even smaller than mine and tried a simple add on and it busted. I know it can be done dam bulilding is not brain surgery, but i'd rather get some opinions from some of you so I can get it done right. Thanks partnas JAG
