All Fishing Lakes and Farm Ponds are NOT Equal
A body of water on your property is a desirable feature
which adds value and provides pleasure for the owner.
Fishing Lakes are called many names. In Texas
and the Southwest, they may be known as pools, ranch lakes or stock tanks. In other
areas of the country, it may be
farm ponds, farm lakes,
fishing lakes or swimming ponds.
Regardless of what the water feature on your farm or ranch is called, their use as water sources
for livestock has diminished over the years. Today's property owner
wants a farm pond or fishing pond which adds beauty, value and pleasure
to their property.

-North of Mineral Wells, TX Summer 2007 The Changing role of Fishing Lakes
More and more property owners today are
wanting fishing ponds or fishing lakes added to their property.
Fishing pond construction is more
complicated than the construction of a simple stock tank or farm pond.
Your local bulldozer operator might get a farm
pond right the first time. Might is a big gamble. If
he doesn't get it right, if the farm pond leaks, if the banks are too
steep, if the pond does not fill up correctly; you are left with an
eyesore which must be drained and reconstructed. The proposition of
re-doing a farm pond or fishing lake is always more expensive then the
initial pond construction.
Construction of the more complicated fishing pond or fishing lake is
definitely not something you want an inexperienced contractor to
tackle.
Proper fishing lake construction requires engineering, experience and
the proper equipment. The excavation contractor you hire to construct
the fishing lake or farm pond of your dreams has to be an expert.
We have the experience and equipment to
turn your dreams into reality. Our portfolio
speaks for its' self.

The Role of Texas Farm Ponds and
Fishing Lakes
Conservative estimates place the correct number of farm ponds in
Texas at over 800,000. These farm ponds range in size from less than one
acre to over 60 acres in size and 25% of all fishing takes place in
private farm ponds and fishing lakes. Unfortunately, many of these ponds
are so poorly constructed that they fail to serve the purpose for which
they were originally designed; some may be unsafe.
Until recently, little concern was shown for construction safety in
building farm pond dams. Now, however, many states are routinely
checking pond dams, and condemning those which are unsafe. Condemned
farm ponds must be drained and repaired or destroyed. Therefore, it is
important to properly construct new ponds or lakes in order to prevent
expensive condemnation or structural failure of the dam.
Farm ponds are constructed for many purposes. Those designed for
livestock watering, irrigation, and fire protection must be built near
the use they serve and also contain adequate water. Farm Ponds or
Fishing Lakes used for flood and erosion control frequently are located
in dry valleys or depressions and have the capability for the storage of
large quantities of water, especially during heavy rainfall and spring
floods.
Farm Ponds constructed for fish and wildlife production or recreation
are designed and constructed for (1) easy access, (2) adequate volume
and, (3) water level manipulation. Farm ponds can be designed and built
to serve multiple purposes with advanced planning.

improperly constructed farm pond or fishing lake is always
