Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Soil questions Core sample. Enough clay in soil?

That should work. Make sure the ground is well compacted and remember that you can't compact more than 6" or so at one time so you will have to make a few layers and knit them together with the sheepsfoot. Slope the banks no more than 3:1 if you plan on mowing to the waters' edge. Fish don't like to spawn on very steep slopes so where you think they will spawn make it 4:1 to 6:1. If you can put a 4"-6" layer of pea gravel in the spawning areas that will entice them to use those areas.
