[@Kayla6732inc]

Flair your amazing

[@user-he5pz3zm6d]

Did you check the backside of the Damn before filling to see if that seepage was from the pond or just ground water.

[@timothyjames4286]

XD gathorer you put ice in your milk don’t you?

[@fs_juicy5884]

It’s gonna work yall overthinking it

[@sdpy15]

To prevent erosion you need to run a 40' or 60' stretch of blue tarp under the water pipe down to the lowest section of the pond, tie two ropes to each end and buoy's to the other end of the ropes. When the water gets to the level of the inlet you can pull the tarp and not have any issues with erosion. Also, if you want to map your pond then Drone Deploy is the best app. You can use your DJI, fly the mission, and it will create a topographic layout for you. 10/10 recommend the software, and they may sponsor you if you were to use their product.

[@hollywoodredneck8565]

I was gonna mention that as well about the water source. But I was gonna say atleast run a hose to the lowest point until the water level gets up to the source.

[@Something-Somes]

All he needs to do is get some large culvert pipe and link it up all the way down to the bottom and maybe put some large holes here and there in it on the top of the piping. Kinda like a big water slide you see at water parks. He could just split the pipes too and do that.

[@donnyroberts4248]

Rocks will do the same thing but be natural

[@Something-Somes]

@@donnyroberts4248 Actually erosion will still happen that way. There will be erosion no matter what. You want to find the best way to spread out the water flow rather than focus in one place. The rocks will also sink and slide. Flair already found that out once. Its better to diffuse with fountains and diffusers to be honest but the culvert option could also double as tunneling for fish as long as it stays sunken when the pond is full. The plastic culvert is not my favorite option but many pond builders use it. I liked to make stone lean-tos and underpasses. Little fish caves too. That is a different topic but yeah...a cement culvert canal would be ideal but he did not go thick enough with the clay to support the weight of it. He could use unilocks or brick though...those are light enough.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great advice!! Hope they follow it!!!

[@ReubenOaks84]

Lay some cement culverts in the deepest area, scattered out for catfish and others to use. Put piles of rock/cement chunks along with boulders throughout the pond at different depths and use chunk rock down the entire slope of the dam. Add artificial and/or natural brush, trees and plants near shallow areas.

[@carriethorpe6234]

Real trees would be better. The old ways work best. Because they still exist today because of it. ❤

[@MyBackyardScience]

One critical thing to remember is to make sure that you set up your water input so that it will not erode your bank. The way you did it last time caused a lot of erosion and will wash away the good work and waste your money. Think this one through to find a good solution. Bama Bass has his water rising up from the deep part of his pond. Maybe run hose down to the deepest part with some kind of diffuser, at least until the water fills up over your south ledge. Those are my thoughts, but I'm not a pond expert (yet). Seek professional opinions regarding this. We want this to be a success for you! 🙂

I would recommend some kind of big pipe at the bottom Of the pond For catfish den's. Take some rocks and pile them up around the pipes.

[@Kaid_fluck]

Exactly what I was coming here to say. Great idea!

[@masquinongy4652]

Yes I definitely agree with that too. Or make some type of bigger rock structures, similar to the pipe you said, so they have enough space to swim under it and chill out at

[@griffinfjeld5680]

Gravel bottom for some walleyes and perch, then a couple pipes for catfish so they arent rooting in the muck. Also 2 to 4 grass carps to manage the plant growth in the shallows. And if you want some small fighter fish that taste good, gravel around the inflow, and add some brookies. Also don't forget to try and plant some millet and smart weed along the 3 foot up range to draw in the ducks

[@darrenangle4493]

Your pond is coming along nicely Andrew. Personally with the ponds we built on my land years ago, we cut a big tree down and sunk it right in the middle of our deepest parts so the Big Flatheads and Blues would have plenty of shade and a place to ambush the other fish in the ponds. It's worked out great for many years now. Best of luck of whatever you decide.

[@kengoodwin2928]

Everytime I click my subscriptions, Flair is always the first one I look for a new video. Can’t wait to see this pond filling with water!

[@brandondoaneoutdoors]

I like the idea of putting structure types at the depth changes ( rocks, stumps, brush, etc. ) but I would love to see a mix of natural structure & manmade ( pvc / fish attractors ) and see which ones the fish prefer

[@JamisonCurtis]

what would also be really cool is to see cars on the very bottom of the pond. also I like rocks but every time I go fishing I aways get a lures stuck.

[@jeremiahcampbell6077]

I would also like to see a car or two at the deepest point the catfish would love that

[@michael.demello12]

[@JamisonCurtis]

@@michael.demello12 yeah a boat would also be really cool.

[@lorenzoboyland5341]

Make sure to install a water fountain system somewhere in your backyard pond so that it will help to produce oxygen and control algae growth. As far as structure, I'd put a large drainage pipe on the bottom to give your catfish and Predatory fish a place to hang out and feel more comfortable. Go by any bass pro shop and check out their aquarium for ideas.

[@michaelburns566]

Glad you decided to fix the pond correctly! Put real structure in the pond like trees and rocks or concrete! I like the idea of pea gravel on the bedding bench!

[@Badfish277]

Don't forget about adding a shit load of live aquatic plants to help take the nitrates out of the water in order to create a healthy and balanced/cycled eco system

[@airick4038]

Some live plant's roots could possibly pierce the clay/bentonite layer and cause leaks. Bama Bass mentioned that people advised him against planting his pond.

[@dangerousdylan6262]

Can't put plants in it

[@ianaldrich5919]

If you layer a dirt mound on top of the base layers you can plant that 1 it’ll add shape to the bowl and allow you to plant

[@mikebullard9940]

Roots poke holes in clay layer

[@ianaldrich5919]

@@mikebullard9940 hence why you build a dirt mound 1 helps eliminate the bowl look and adds contouring to the pond. 2 a 4,6 foot dirt mound will be deep enough your roots won’t imbed into the clay

[@andrewjackson8401]

Gotta give you props for actually making the right decision and doing the pond right by adding the extra stuff to make sure its sealed

[@lifewithjonathan5277]

Pull some of those old cars out of the creek and use them as structure in the deep. Works for catfish amd cleans up the property a bit. Do some cinder block cone structures Some sort of brush down deep because we all know there’s going to be crappie in there for ice fishing

[@RagingNana-KindredSpirit50]

I think putting more clay to protect betonite so that any structure you put in the pond doesn't puncture through the betonite.Always great content from you & the guys!

[@tjbullock4818]

Being 18' deep I like idea of using whole trees and putting the top on the deep end. 5 or 6 tops and your habitat is done. Love from Bama

[@Something-Somes]

His liner is not as thick as BamaBass's so smaller trees are suggested. If there is sinkage the branches could eventually puncture the clay liner. He could make some clay mounds to lay them on though and just cut off the branches on one side of the trees.

[@tjbullock4818]

Idk Bamabass didn't have the second layer of clay either. That would be the main fear though

[@tjbullock4818]

I'm worried about the erosion that will come from the pipe when they fill it

[@Something-Somes]

@@tjbullock4818 There will be erosion either way. You want to do it in a way that causes the least amount of it. When I did exotic enclosures that had big ponds we ran lines that aimed up with piles of gravel and stone around it to displace the water and spread it out as it lands. Diffusers/fountain head we used as well but it really depends on contract ed budgets and what the contractors wanted. Hopefully Flair looks into erosion control for sure.

[@Something-Somes]

@@tjbullock4818 Bamas' pond had thicker layers of clay so his was a bit better.

[@MyBackyardScience]

This Sunday Flair pond video is the perfect finish to the weekend! 🙂

[@ianaldrich5919]

You can do some man made structures like wood cribs/boxes catfish love them and so do crappie I definitely recommend some live plants but don’t go crazy with them. Maybe next to the boat ramp add a dirt plateau on top of the clap to plant in the sunken trees is an awesome idea. And you should do some big boulder structures as well as some medium sized rocks. The big boulders work well for your medium large bass/gills to maneuver and hide while the medium small rocks allow your small spawns to get away from predatory fish allowing them to get large enough to not be killed. No matter what you do this pond will be stellar and I can’t wait to see the end result

[@sheds]

My only thoughts on the layout of the brush and rocks is that nature is not perfectly consistent in this case. Some rocky areas and cover are good, but maybe concentrate them more in specific places to encourage fish to congregate where they prefer and you know where to look for any one species, as well as add a little bit of each everywhere to simulate nature. Every lake and pond has a "honey hole" for a specific species where they like to stay.

[@Dathunder636]

Use tree trunks and stand them straight up in the middle deep part to simulate standing timber, good cover for a variety of fish

[@radioinc]

[@blingbling9341]

18' deep with cold water right there sounds perfect for some walleye. One of the best walleye fisheries in the world is lake erie and it averages 15' deep. Be amazing for your catch and cooks plus they live with bass no problem. The pond looks amazing and truly cant wait to see what you end up doing with it. But very happy for you to get something so nice right in your backyard. Also walleye love rock/stair ledge structurce so the edges of ur boat road lined with layered rock would be amazing for them. And the rest of structurebplans sound fantastic for bass/crappie/sunfish

[@brodycampbell2990]

Seed that whole pond basin with 60% rye grass and 40% buck oats to super charge the forage base for your fish! It’ll also help with soil erosion. 3 to 5 tons of Ag lime per acre helps so the water is good for the fish. 18-36 inches with a secki disc is ideal clarity

[@danaaccola8342]

Definitely need to do a lot of artificial or real rock formations to make caves and structure for catfish and the big bass that love to live deep. Maybe a tree cabled to cinderblocks along the bottom at the 18-14ft spot, random clay pots all over the bottom so crawfish can hide in them I stead of burrows. Also provides bass a good cold water winter feed. Those big black industrial tubes that are like 2 ft wide, hook them up to some eight and out deep water tunnels for the catfish, there’s a lot of Stucture you can do in the very bottom just make sure you add weight so it will stay

Feel like a mixture of both natural and some artificial as well as mixing stuff between shallow to deep. Some shallow bigger rocks and gravel will be good for bluegills but early spring those shallow rocks will warm up quicker allowing other stuff for the fish. Some deep big boulders in the middle with a few thick logs for some big cats or big bass to go hang around. Make options available to choose

[@wildfire365]

Make trees out of PVC pipe and weigh them down in the pond. Makes great place for fish and won't hang up as bad and last forever pretty well. Put weighted plastic barrels for catfish to nest in in the bottom.

[@facerace6012]

I'd add fresh water grass and hornwort, Java Moss, or Water Wisteria (grass that produces natural oxygen) as well as some floating (very lil) plants as they (the fish and young spawn) might want some cover while in the middle of the pond. Just to feel secure and thrive. That all can go at the bottom/top water towards the middle. Also add blue natural pond dye for visibility.

might be a bit late to make suggestions, but i would put in some decent sized boulders, and maybe some hallow logs, at the very bottom of the pond, weigh down the logs with the boulders, and just get a bunch of random misc structures going surround it with aquatic plants... idk much about ponds or anything, but the more places for fish to hide/survive/thrive the better i would imagine. at first it might be slow going, but the longer ur pond is running, and the longer u got life going in it, the more the fish/life will adapt to it.
