The fun of fishing with eating them later is good enough for me. I have two ponds on my property. They need work cause the dams are leaking. But in a few years I'm going to overhaul them. And stock up.

you need to have a creek feeding it or a fresh spring from the bottom or something, you can't just dig a hole or it'll drain or be a dirty brown color.

I want to stock the pond with Bass
Pretty sure you have to stock those in the spring. We tried to do the bass route but our tank damn blew out after a big rain and we lost them all. We just went easy this time with catfish and perch, they can survive in anything. It helps they are fracing (fracking?) all around us so whenever we want some water they will run a line to it from our water well.

Well, at least in a few years you'll have a place for folks to dump construction rubble.

Where is it located? Looks like T'pahoa or St. Helena Parishes.

Call your county agent(extension agent). They will come survey the area and tell you how many acres of runoff you will have to fill the pond. This will tell you if you will need well to supplement or not. They will also do a soil test to see if the stuff underground will hold water or not.
Or they used to do this service. I would think they still do.
If you are in Louisiana
La Ag Center

I would recommend some geotechnical borings before you start. Find out what the soil looks like from the surface to the deepest planned depth to ensure you have soils that will hold water.

Go there. Everything you'll ever need to know about ponds.
Dig it deep with ledges. Structure for bream, whose offspring will feed the bass. Get a cat and a 22 with ratshot for snakes
