This is the "hole" that will become an actual Koi (or Trout) pond this spring. I have the liner & underlayment but the winter caught us before we were ready so the pond still sits as a hole!
A friend of mine said he'd put trout in it because it will be fed from our stream (fresh water) & they might do better than Koi would. The stream stays very cold all year. Trout are not as colorful as Koi but if they will do better, heck, I like fried trout! Not too sure about fried Koi! Yuck!
There are a few other water features on our property, just 1/10th under 4 acres, all are gravity flow from the stream, no pumps here! It makes it fun to play with, & all of the "moved" water returns eventually, to the large BLM pond (next Pic) below us, then back into the stream from there. I do have reparian rights to the stream. No one uses it below me tho, that is a shame as it is a nice clear stream. There is one pond about a mile down stream from me but they don't keep it up.
