Just a curious question - Not even sure if it is relavent here, but just something I was thinking....
I have a pond that is currently stocked with a variety of fish - nothing huge. Years ago, I would fish the pond, but I'm not really into fishing much anymore. So, something that bounces around in my brain from time to time is what would I have to do to convert this into a place to dive. Obviously, nothing elaborate and nothing I would open up to make money at, maybe a couple friends from time to time.
I'm thinking I would have to drain the pond and transfer the fish maybe to somebody elses pond or try and keep some to put back. Maybe dig out a little and line with gravel, rock, or sand. I would possibly need to put a fountain or something to airate the water a little better.
What's your thoughts? Is this doable? Would lining with gravel or rack be the trick to keep it clear? Maybe some dreaded zebra mussells?
Again, just a pipe dream, but I'm curious if it would actually work.
