Part of the land is private. The pond is a nice addition in order to help control drainage problems. An electric train around the 1900's ran through the pond area, therefore through my current home to serve a town south of Lake Michigan (from Chicago).
Hybrid Bluegill, so they do not over populate; Large Mouth Bass and Fathead Minnows. In a larger pond, I have stocked Channel Catfish with the others mentioned.
Afford, well that's not easy, but the pond was to fix a water drainage problem that blew out stone driveway seasonally. Bonus is the pond and fish. Snow plow farmer, mail carriers and delivery trucks are happy now. People who don't know how to drive in winter shouldn't come down the driveway. Every winter there is some sort of stuck vehicle spinning their tires causing ruts. The pond is a good thing.
Yes, that would have been nice.

should of dug out where you had your ute parked and put a bridge their and had the pond go over to the other side.. but thats a bit more costly ;p

Um, isn't a pond supposed to have a water inlet (such as a stream) and an outlet?

did you have to line the pond with anything to get it to hold water?

The pond is a sky (no springs, just rain, snow, runoff) pond, naturally clay base lined.

I cannot see a creek. Is it spring fed, or rain fed?
