What you get out of a pond depends upon what you put into it. I recommend that you obtain a copy of Ray Scott"s Great Small Waters video tapes.

8-10 # monsters are one thing. Plenty of bass and panfish for entertainment purposes are entirely another while catfish offer one more possibility. So, too, are ponds with deep water around the edges for shore-fishing opportunities.

I bought the videos to get ideas and learned a great deal. From the videos and reading I established a workable plan before we even began excavation. Once we the plan was set we paid a man to come out with a dozer. He was done in 3 days (make sure he seperates top soil from other soil as my guy did). My only complaint is that I did not build banks high enough and last yr. lost a bank on the rear of the pond due to high flood water levels.
