My parents just bought some land and they want to put a large fishing pond on it, so I was wondering does anyone have any information on fishing pound designs or web sites?
Thank you

You should be able to find plenty of info on how to build/dig them online, but here in Florida you need specific permits and what not to build a fishing pond so make sure to check on that first. not that they can do a lot about a giant hole in yuor backyard unless they catch you doing it.
I don’t recon you are going to need any filtration if it is going to be so huge…
Treat it as a ‘man-man’ natural area of water.
If it is in the tens of thousands of gallons (or more), you introduce native water plants, and a few big native game fish, you should have a perfect ecosystem where is pretty much takes care of itself. Maybe pop a small rowing boat in there, and you have your own fishing area for life..

I looked into this in the past as im working on my own pond and large 20000-100000+gallon ponds should be built with a CLAY lining its easyer and chaper to get the clay, but it has to bee atleast two feet thick to retain water.
How big is big?
But this is a good book

I recon hundreds of thousands would be classed as big…
Big enough to replicate something natural with no filtration etc…

Most southern states will provide extensive information for building, etc. catfish or tilipia ponds : check the state Dept of Ag, or a state university Ag Dept.
