Then I would certainly go for a test hole during dry spell . This will determine whether you can excavate or if too much water a drag line . A pond of 50x100 and 14 ft deep would be simmilar to what I have and would require the removal of about 400 dump trucks . Sometimes clay is needed for fill and you could work something out to help cover costs . As even at $25 per truck you will be looking at least $10000 . This would give you space for about 25 fish over 24in . Love the info too bad I am twice your age
