@kmacpher67 Hey there! Gosh - I guess it took about 45 minutes to pull the net. Your estimate of the size is about right. I don't know what the capacity of the mud hole is. Some fish did swim around the net. We pulled it a second time later that day and caught more. It's tough to keep the net up against the sides and bottom of the pond.
@ChromeDrome - I think so. I just responded to another message like this one. Pretty much just dig a big hole in some clay. One tip is if you are getting your water from another lake or stream to run it through a seive or mesh as you fill the pond - so that other fish fry don't end up in your pond. Also, someone asked about parasites - yes - you will end up with parasites - but the stocking density is low, so the fish are less affected. Hope that this helps! Jason
@ChromeDrome also, the fish and the air stones (needed) constantly stir up the fine clay (carp love to rummage in it...), so don't hold your breath waiting for it to settle out.... Jason
ok so if i have a natural pond that has been there for years and was crated naturally by nature, could i put my koi fish in it? instead of putting them in a preformed pond??
@peachey2021 - Hey peachey. Yes. you could. They would love it. If its a natural pond, keep an eye out for parasites like flukes. The fish will grub around in the mud on the bottom looking for food, so, depending upon the size of the pond, and the type of soil its in, they may cloud the water some. I'd do it if I had a natural pond. Jason
Well, these mud ponds were dug into GA clay, so pretty much - just dig a hole in the ground and fill it up with water if the soil is mostly clay. Although not shown in the picture, there is also a lake a few yards away, so it's easy to top up the water by pumping it out of the lake.
nice koi... good job everybody

How long did it take for the group to pull the net?
What size is that mud hole? It looks like 25'ft x 50' ?
What is the holding capacity of the mud hole?
Did you use aerators to add air for the fish?
How many fish did you pull out?
Did I hear you say that some got away when pulling the net?

Question: Do you just simply add water to a whole to create a mud pond? I just don't understand how the water doesn't saturate into the ground...
