I was wondering how difficult it is to create a man made pond to keep bass and bluegilll in for fishing. I'm not thinking of the standard 10' x 10' pond, but something maybe an acre or two. Just a small pond that these game fish can be kept in. Maybe about 10 to fifteen feet deep in the middle.
I'm sure that this would take a lot of work. But some of the depth of the pond could be accounted for by piling dirt on the perimeter.
I don't have the land for this right now, but I am looking for a house and one of my dreams is a small fishing pond in the back yard.
Has anyone ever tried to make a pond of this size? How do you keep the water from going back into the ground ;-) I'm sure you would need a little more than a garden hose.
What kind of permits would you need to do this? Does the city care that you build a pond? I could see them being interested if there are any underground power lines, water maines, etc. near by.
What do you think? I'm not sure if this has ever been done or can be done.
