It looks like you are doing a great job. It will be a new pond world for you with all those acre ft of extra water. Have you decided if you are installing fish/ minnow habitat or structure? Aeration?
How old was the pond and the five ft of mud you have taken out?
Are you still going to be at the 8 or so ft. pond depth you were shooting for?
I am sure some of the PB experts can tell you if the 8ft depth will allow for a better chance of winter survival for you area of the country.
It has been a few years now since I had my pond built, but I still remember the process and how excited I was to start filling and dreams of fish capacity beyond the thoughts of mere mortal men! Capacity numbers and pounds have changed but the dream lives on.
Thanks again for the pics.
