Ranch Pond...Help

stevomac59 · 06-16-08, 08:31 PM

I have a pond at my ranch, about 125ft diameter, 8ft deep at the deepest. I am thinking of making a deeper center in the middle of the already existing pond; making it about a 50ft diameter, and about 5ft deeper. I am going to cover the smaller circle in the pond with visqueen (black tarp) so that the soil will not absorb the water. The larger portion of the pond will have water in it when it rains or when its not too hot(water evaporates). The creek feeding my pond is about 3ft deep and I am planning to widen the mouth to about 20ft. All in all, the pond will look like a giant pear! Any suggestions on how to maintain, preserve, and stock the pond with some bass, catfish, blugll, and crappie?

Thanks, Please ask me if My statement was not clear.
