Hi there, fellow pond people!
My name is Dan and I am about to close on a property in southern Alabama that has an old, 3/4-acre pond and a newer, 2.5-acre pond on it. They are both on the same tiny creek. The old pond is 400 ft upstream and 50 ft higher than the new one. There are 2 active beaver dams on the creek between them. I plan on managing them for LMB and BG fishing and for the grandkids to swim in, too. I've already seen LMB in the larger one, but I've no idea how many or what else is in there.
The little one is in rough shape from silting and vegetation, but the larger one looks pretty good:
