Lyndon will show you how to clean the fish and even rent you a rod and real. Just show up and fish! www.lyndonfishhatcheries.com.
The fastest way to dig a big pond is to use the help of a qualified excavator. This excavator normally digs out house foundations and the operator has years of experience digging giant holes in the ground and removing mountains of material.
In the previous episode we had Clarke from Lyndon Trout Ponds and Fish Hatchery measure water quality of our fish pond for oxygen and water temperature. This pond was also monitored year round to see if it holds enough water and has the depth the fish need to stay cold. Rainbow trout need good to excellent water quality and plenty of oxygen. Water flow is an asset to help fish spawn. We discovered that the water in our pond is filled continuously with the help of ground water and is very cold, even in the summer. Trout will die if water gets above 25 degrees Celsius. Shade also helps keep water cool and our pond is sheltered for a good part of the day with trees.
You will need to find out what kind of soil you are working with. Is it clay, clay-loam and sandy loam are best for holding water. You will want to avoid limestone, shale, sand and gravel-they leak. Except in our case since the gravel is actually part of the ground water, which is ideal. You can ask around to find out if your pond will leak or will hold water year round. You don't want your pond to dry up in the middle of the summer.
Aeration of the pond is something we will be exploring as we see how the season develops. We are hopeful that water remains cool so dissolved oxygen in the water remains high.
After we dig the pond, we will let is sit for a few weeks before putting our fish in the pond. Ideally you will let the pond sit for a full year, but we are not patient enough for this.

Cant wait to see a crystal clear pond
I always watch it the whole way through trout are my favorite to catch and ur channel is the best
i might do tomorrow
hello . do you taste any difference from wild caught and farm raised fish . i always waited to add fish to my pond but i saw so much negative news about it be less healthy to eat and taste being so different . that i never tried it . also great work cleaning out that algae just watching you fish from when you started the video i don't see any floating around
ok
I watch so much content. Joe Robinet, Fowler, Xander Budnick, Greg Ovens, Les Stroud… and more… Plus multiple podcasts and audiobooks throughout the week, movies with the family… I can honestly say that you and Kevin have grown to be my FAVORITE over everything.
I noticed how bad your channel took a hit after you took a break for health reasons, but there’s still a lot of us here who’ve been watching consistently for years and years and years. Thanks for sharing your lives with us, Gents.
You did not mention Jim and Ted Baird, they are pretty good content also if you haven't check them out.
If you ever install some kind of filter, then the collected fish waste is absolute magic for garden fertiliser. You could make a skimmer setup just like in a pool, but it's a crazy amount of work and requires a ton of adjustments until it works like you want it to.
A pond flocculant will help with water clarity and also algae control. An over-stocked pond (any pond with stocking levels above 'natural' density) will require a bit of careful measurement for dosage as it can result in gill stress if over-dosed.
If you wanted to "go crazy" with natural filtration, you could run a channel about 30-50 feet long, down a slight slope to the pond and plant it with ranks of reeds set across the channel and a gravel bed. Then you pump water from the bottom of the pond to the top of the channel. As the water flows down the channel back to the pond it is filtered by the reeds and any other water plants in the channel.
Power to move all that water is the issue right now, but we are working on a few ideas.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman I'm fairly confident that you'll figure something out. You seem pretty good at exploring your options and thinking it through.
Hi, just found your channel and just want to say I love everything I see, so cool to watch you build your own pond from scratch and then put rainbow trout in too, so jealous!
It's very normal that unfortunately some fish don't make it in the first days/weeks, unfortunately that's how it is and you have to count on it, but after seeing your fish you're raising now, it proves how well they're doing and that you're taking care the pond is fantastically good, the fish are super shiny and in incredibly good condition, another sign is that the fins have no damage and are incredibly fine, as rainbow trout have incredibly sensitive fins, have some experience as I built a slightly smaller pond with my grandfather for many years ago, but we didn't have anywhere near that many trout hahah :D, keep doing what you're doing and I'll see the framemeot continue on the pond!
You're doing great at improving and maintaining the pond so far Chris.
Two Don's in a video you know its going to be a must watch thanks guys for the awesome content
So grateful for you and your brother and the things you share 👍👍
The pond looks awesome with that dye, keep up the great work and enjoy those fish.
I was feeling those mozzies as you cleared the trail!
Thanks Chris 👊 👍 Appreciate you, stay safe and take care my friend 🙏
I think you’re right. It’s part of the reason people keep fish in tanks. Feeding them is super dress releasing. That algae is gold for compost. Toss it in the heap man. Nitrogen ciiiiity🐸🍺🔪🔥
Love the pond series it's so relaxing watching you put all this hard work in😜 it's looking awesome
I loved the pond project from the start and I enjoy to watch every episode about it. A natural way to filter the pond water is to buy freshwater clams. You can put them in like shopping baskets or other containers with a lot of holes for flow and it really helps. Now, your pond is quite big so I am not sure if it makes sense or how many would you need to actually have visible improvments. But it might be a nice idea to investigate :) . Thank you very much for your videos !
I wonder if they could be bought, because I don't think it is legal to move them around.
In Europe you can buy them from fish stores. I am not sure about Canada though.
Loving the videos! So much information and inspiration in each one!
I think you should get Kevin to keep his eye out for a good pool pump and sand filter it would help with the water and destroy the Alger. Treat it the way you are but the sand filter will make a huge difference to the water quality.Just a thought for you to ponder over
Ponds are so much fun! It does seem like there are always improvements to be made (and my pond is tiny compared to yours, with goldfish lol). I think your pond is looking fantastic!!
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Chris, super jealous of the awesome pond and beautiful trout. Longtime viewer and love the content. For more nutrition or food you could do some spin on aquapoics. I had an aquaponic system connected to my backyard aquaculture tank and was impressed by how the plants converted the fish waste into food and it also filtered the water well.
Yeah, but the big problem is moving the water around. Aeration is easy, but moving water requires lots of power.
@TheWoodedBeardsman I had solar panels but the cost was definitely a problem for the ex wife lol! I've seen raft systems that just float like what you created they are unsightly though I'm sure
Build up a bog and a waterfall. Guaranteed the water will get crystal clear for good.🐸
Your brother can build anything have him build a huge pond skimmer
You could shade the middle a bit with camo netting strung from a few trees.
Looking Great! Full Stop!
Nice content master ..
Like like like like ..
Succes for Al creator..
Support you
Thanks forbthe Upload WB
The pond looks great, i hope the aquatics help with the nitrogen levels. Personally, I'd harvest alot of the cattails when available, they can get out of hand pretty quick. Arrowheads work well, good cover, stay in clumps. Love what ya'll are doing ❤
I say again love that property
I love the pond videos. 😊
Good video, thanks!
Woo pond plants!
Buy some minnows, or baby bluegill/pearch. Your trout will love them. 😊
فيديو رائع وجميل 😀
Best to get a strong Pool net for floating debris. Just put the whole thing in of Koenders Pond Care in. Add some true blue or pond dye in. Block out the sun.
Pond dye added toward the end of the video.
Looks good! Keep up the good work….
Good to know info
Blue fin trout 😊
If you guys r busy hit play n walk away ...smack a like and rewatch another day :P help a brother out ! ...great work on the pond :)
Full stop, what a great video! Keep up the hard work and ignore the haters.
Build a sun shade over one end of the pond also trout like current u could take a old trolling motor and mount it on a board and wrap it with some fence so the trout don't get hurt by it put it sub surface and set it on a timer to kick on a few hours a day on a old boat battery.
Hi from Western Australia, love ya channel keep up the good work. 👍🏼
Ahh a Perther.
Wish I had a bucket of that for my compost hahaha😅
Glad your dad got a bit of feed while he was there. I wonder if a couple of shade sails added to the pond would help or hinder? Probably go to a skydiving school and get an out of service parachute cheap to give it a try
I was thinking of something like that. If the wind gets strong, might be hard to keep upright. I'm sure there is a way though.
Happy 4th of July to you and your brother
FullStop🎉 love the content and effort you put into your videos. I enjoyed you skimming out the negative trolls😂 I mean pond scum😃
Ok, i have a water garden and for my plants i either use black milk crates or black flower pots from a nursery. most aquatic plants dont require any soil or very little. think of it like a hydroponic system. soil retains moisture and nutrients. your pond will provide that. most pond suppliers sell net or mesh bags, i simply use mesh laundry bags with a pull string. place your plant in the bag and add lava rocks. they are clean and will trap silt in the small holes that the roots can bind to. pull the draw string around the plant and place it your container of choice. hope that helps or gives you a better idea, oh herrings get wise to fake one unless you move it around on them
Good call. I'll have to try that!
pool noodles and mesh netting put rope on each side of noodles to skim the top person on each side and walk
a ball of barley straw wraped in the geo textile is best to clear water. a 2 foot ball each 2 month. leave for 4 month. the rotting process causes water to clear. water cress in a section off guttering, fast growing and very nice to eat. a simple boom made from the floatation material to pull suface algie to one side makes for easier netting.
My dream is to have a trout pond or a fish pond and honey bee hives nearby. With a nice sized garden.
Good work bro❤ personally I would add a water feature like a waterfall this would break up the scum and algie on the surface causing it to sink also it would improve the oxygen in the pond because it will create circulation on the surface. I believe that it's 80 percent of oxygen in water comes from the surface therfore forcing the surface water down and mixing it up will add oxygen to the overall volume, this is essentially what your air pumps are doing but they're not creating enough circulation on the surface to break up the scum. Hope this helps good luck dude❤
Waterfall, right, I thought this was the plan, earlier. A pump pushing water to the top of a "stream" full of plants ? It'd basically be an aquaculture setup at that point, take advantage of the excess nitrogen by growing food in the "stream" as well as the regular aquatic / marsh plants.
I don't want to be a backseat driver, but... (of course there's a but)... I did a similar project and had easier success using empty 2-liter pop bottles. They gave a lot more buoyancy than pool noodles or foam (a lot!), and they were easy to move around the sides in order to balance the planter out. Also, much easier to add or subtract bottles to adjust buoyancy. And, on the aesthetic side, I think you can still drape the geotextile over them and keep them out of sight. (They also last a really, really long time without leaking!) Sorry to butt in. Love your work!
Great idea!
I have the same multi tool. 😊
You need to watch Bamabass he has a series for an entire pond build including clarity and maintenance
Except his pond is more silty than ours since he is 100 percent clay, and not trout. He could never hold trout in his pond.
@TheWoodedBeardsman that's not really the point and his pond get incredibly clear however he controls the clarity because to clear will only cause alge problems like you're dealing with and will continue to deal with if you don't get proper control and guidance like he did via pond professionals.... in all honesty his pond is as clear as yours when he doesn't treat it with the proper materials..
Greetings from the other side
Oh joy of joys that pond company will be pointing out your posts for yrs ta show how well it works
Already paying of with fun in fish jump
Was gonna say how usein pool extention has a zen type thing about it
Kevin missed one ,YOU putting in dye Should of had young lady pointing Yellin " DAD uncle's peeing in the pond "
🤙🖖
lol
Wow I would have never thought in such a cold water area algae would be a problem... shows what I know I saw Vibrio bacteria had killed someone in Minnesota. Guess we never know anymore. Enjoy your channel so much
Stock some white suckers to take care of the algae and other waste. Scuds would help with it too and provide food for younger fish.
Suckers would stir up the bottom and kick up more silt. Minnows are a possibility, but I need to find it if this is permitted.
That pond is great. And also since you stocked it with trout . that saves you a bundle of cash having to go to a lake and catch fish
'A slight tinge of green? OMG, I'll watch the rest later.
Not as bad as last year!
LOL Did you notice the spider crawling on your shirt at 35:33??
Nope!
got a spider 🕷 on your shirt at the end 😅
Tilapia and a weedeater
You could try geting some tilapia fish to add to the pound they eat algae and fish waste they won't survive canadian winters and taste great
Block the sun out if you can or reduce nutrients in the water...get a phosphate test kit. Or get natural plantsto outcompete the algae for nutrients
David Letterman has entered the chat.
Hey Chris, a nice double edged serrated grass shear may help make easier work of clearing your trail than that hand sickle. They’re fairly inexpensive, like 30 bucks.
Hmmm, I've not seen those. I will need to try find a source!
What about watercress growing near the edge?
2nd..life story
FULL STOP. I have to be honest after I put the dye in the pond. I probably would’ve dared my brother to take a swim.😂
hahah, that would be priceless! I found it wash off pretty good, but direct exposure lasted a while.
Lol
The pond is looking great, fullstop. Nice to see your dad having fun which is great. 👍
Just a thought? Does the pond overflow? I.e. waterchanges. If not maybe you could drain a foot or so and let the spring refill the pond. Like a waterchange in an aquarium. Hope that would help your warer quality.
It's possible that would work. Also...it's probably happening all the time anyway.
Pvc is boyant 1 gallon equals 8 pounds of lift
Full stop.
Have you guys also looked at algae eating Sucker fish? We use to have them in our pond and they did wonders for our small pond.
Not allowed to move fish around unless they come from a stocking outfit.
@@TheWoodedBeardsmanthen be a little bi*ch and listen to those who make rules!
@@TheWoodedBeardsman then stock grass carp,koi, or tilapia
Great vid. Would it not be easier to pump water out ,through a hydrponic veggie garden to remover the nitrogen? The return flow could also fall into the pond adding a bit to the oxygen levels.
If getting enough power to move water wasn't a factor!
if I lived nearby, I would love to donate a sand filter and a skimmer. I am in the pool biz, and it would help with clarity, although not very natural. Also, the pump would require regular voltage, so if the property is truly off grid, I am unsure of any options. It would be nice to not have to net the surface, and just let it collect in a skimmer basket and filter.
Power is the big issue here, unfortunately that's the big limiter.
Do you know what the pellets are made of? Just wondering since you’re ingesting a lot of the pond trout 🤔
I believe it is left over fish materials, ground up.
Fishing is the most expensive way to get dinner for free 😂
You should put some talipia in there..they will eat the algae and they can only survive in the warmer temps..so they will do the job but when winter comes they will die off..jus a thought..another channel called bamabass..jus did that for his pond..and other stuff..jus trying to help..good luck..hope it works out bud...good eating tho
I'm not sure tilapia are around here?
He got them from a fish farm..they sent them to him
What about making a home made filter in a large pvc pipe of substantial size , with gravel , sand and charcoal? I wonder if that would help ?
It might, but we would also need to find a way to move all that water - which requires a lot of power.
You need to put swavels on your duck decays
Indeed.
Mr woodedbeard would love to see the cabin have a food forest or some type of homestead
Homesteading is going to be part of everyone’s survival soon
Y’all are way ahead of the curve
Omg
Minnows
Do you think about adding Koi or other algae eating fish?
Koi will probably stir up the water a bit more than desired.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman ok, just wondering... Would love to have a pond like that!
You should put some carp in there and or some suckes or pocastames
Moving game fish around isn't permitted.
There not game fish it in canada you can also try snails
There is a guy near me who has a fake Gator 🐊 in his pond and it keeps the birds and raccoon 🦝 away. Lol 😅 in Michigan and it works.
Did you rinse the gravel?
Kind of by accident in the pond, but should have done it before adding it.
Waterfall and recycling system boy
How do you power that exactly? Your solutions sound simple, but they aren't.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman a small pond higher up you put all the vegetation make a waterfall and use that windmill the pump the water back through sort of thing
can ask...why dont you ru n feeah water at ur pond?
Will that dye affect the colour of the fish flesh? I've heard of green eggs and ham, but blue smoked trout?????
I just took 3 more fish and didn't notice any coloring!
In that thumbnail your right bicep vs your left says you exercise your right arm a lot. Gotta do something to keep warm on those cold wilderness camps eh 😉
Camera angle :)
Hello i from Indonesia and the fish like salmon. The salmon fish?
Yo did you build that pond by yourself! How quick the evaporates?
It's spring fed, so as long as it keeps raining the pond will fill up from ground water.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman nice one my dude 👊 I'm planning to buy a land a go offgrid - but this is next level! Amazing work I'm a rookie but my dream is to live very similar to the way you're living.
You guys need a Canadian distributor of your spice. I'd buy it, but no way am I paying customs and import for seasoning.
Water snails will keep the algae down.
Man , a battery powered weed eater would be the thing to use on that trail.
mite try freshwater shrimp eat algae and as fish food
\
Why not put a few small buttom feeding algae eating fish in there also. Do not use carp though.
Then it would just keep cycling.
I put too much black pond dye in my pond one time….. pitch black for a whole year 😵💫
Lots of oxygenating pond weed is what eventually sorted out the pure clear pond (after a year + of it being mirror black)
Wow, that's crazy. I hope the pond doesn't stay too dark!
@@TheWoodedBeardsman it was so black 😂 but it really helped clarify the water - gave time for oxygenating plants to grow [under water] I think. I guess there's no quick wins with ponds unless you throw huge filters into the mix (which i'm not spending money on!)
throw a bucket of tadpoles next time you feed them.....
I'm not sure if the trout would eat them, but it's worth trying.
handful of feed...bucket o' taddies.
im confused didn't lois die?
Nope. At least I haven't seen any. No fish died other than 2 at the very start.
Why Don't you dig a well, really deep & constantly pump cold clean water into your pond????? the trout will love it & algae will not grow as much, use a solar pump to get water from well
The well would have to be big enough not to go dry. It would be a challenge.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman you never know you could have a continues under ground stream/river, it could be 30 or 100 feet deep(or more), just a thought, but if you can pump that cold water to your pond the trout would taste amazing
Guess you took Kevin’s line to the extreme (if your going to fail, Fail quickly) I’m sure it will lighten up slowly but you need to learn moderation you can always add more but you can’t take it out
