Fifth, a light filtration system, and pump! I know you are going like… WHAT? But it’s true don’t go bonkers with the filtration a simple skimmer and Bio-Falls will be all what you need for a crystal clear pond!and select a pond pump no about half of the volume of water that you have, so if you build a 18,900 gallon pond ( Like one of the ones i build…) just use a 9,000 GPH pump! I know how much you want a pond i am 14 and i used to like fishing, but know i am into fishing in ponds more fun!

Third, Make sure you have a pond of at least four feet deep, all the catfish ,bass, trout pond’s i have constructed were eight to twelve feet deep! Fourth, adding the mud on the bottom, is good for the catfish and bass, but not essential, so add about five- six inches of very sandy mud, this will keep your pond more clear, But after battling with a dirty pond with all that mud i drained it and placed really fine sand instead mixed with some gravel insted and the pond is now really clear,NO MUD!
Get the liner from …
Get the liner from Ebay, Make sure you buy 45 Mil EPDM i recommend Anjon Pond Liners. I have build two cat fish pond’s and one bass pond for friends up in Pollock Pines, CA. I know a few things about building them for cat fish and bass. First, put a pond in a shady area, catfish and bass come out much more when it’s shady, it will also help greatly in keeping the pond water cool. Second, Make sure you have a finished of pond at least 3,500 gallons.
