Exactly. Beyond the talent to understand how to expand a pond. His skills using the excavator was some real talent. The excavator was basically an extension of him. Enjoyed hearing his rational and explanations as he was maneuvering the machine to build out the pond.

An acre pond full of fish & my own range would pretty much be nirvana for me. Add some deer in the woods, pheasants in the rough, ducks on the pond & a few rabbits & pigeons for off season & I'd never leave the place.

Absolutely. I got just about 190 acres but we're on top of a ridge in the Appalachians in PA, and as such, the water table is about 100' below grade. The middle of the property is the high ground, and it slopes down in every direction. So no pond. But I get to see bears, deer, turkeys, and the like but I haven't seen a ringneck in over a decade, unfortunately. Too many coyotes. Even the red fox population has dwindled. Sucks.

I have about half of the digging done on my pond. Recent rains filled the pond early. My dam holds fine. I built the dam mostly based on what I learned watching these videos... And with the idea that I wanted it to be easy to mow and keep trees from growing on the dam.

That's I tought on many of his ponds. Fish go up and down on ridges to feed and reproduce in the colder, shaded bottoms. On a flat, shallow bottom, thus warm water, only catfish 🤮 and sun fish will survive. Any fisherman know that !

@@augustreil most every catfish "farmer" also raises crawfish (crawdads, mudbugs) as a dual crop. When one is dormant the other is active. We have relatives in Baton Rouge. They cook in a turkey fryer, crawfish,red potatoes, corn on the cob, whole onions and in each batch a full 5 lbs of ground red cayenne. So good but better be close to a creek in the morning lol

A company we work with did a huge dam job. They only have scrapers so when they need big excavators and off road trucks they hire us. After the scrapers I would go in with the 390 and dig habitat for the fish all over the place the gps on the hoe really paid for its self on that job. One of the haul truck drivers set pins on his phone where they were at and he goes out there and catches fish all day nonstop. The people that fish their all the time think he’s this great fisherman and I dug so many of them no one catches on because he just goes all over the lake because he knows exactly where each one is at.

I was thinking gee it's not deep enough the fish will freeze out and then I remembered you're not in Michigan 😂🤣 we shoot for minimum of 12 ft deep and usually punch an area down to 17 ft below finish pond height...but where you're at you can probably get by with six to eight feet guessing... But it's going to really really look different with an aerial shot of before and after....an them fish?? They make exclent dirt levelers ;-)
