I get a lot of questions regarding my pond so I made this video today showing how the pond is designed to work from a natural creek w/ underwater video of fish and still frames of the work.
Thumbs up to that!👍 I don't know how I stumbled onto this video, but this has always been a childhood dream of mine- To have a trout stream in my backyard! New subscriber☑️
Man that is one cool stream system that runs through your garden and then even cooler ponds that is literally my dream to have a mini water way in my back yard.
Amazing! Living the dream. Based on the narrow and shallow stream running through the various properties, the original source of the water must be a spring creek where flows and temps are constant throughout the year. There’s no way the original source of the water is a freestone stream in the Sierras where a rain could create flash floods through all the properties. The trout have it good; a spring creek with no natural predators. The fish are living the dream as well!
Buddy. You scored on that home and the creek. Guarantee that would be against the law today. Bunch of us guys from church head up there every year in September for a retreat and fishing. Good times. Awesome set up you have.
Awesome! That's a wonderful thing to have in the backyard - very soothing and relaxing. Now, all you need is a few more trees and some shrubs and flowers along the sides of it. Love the weeping willow tree! It's the only one you need. Any other trees you add should be different and smaller. I would landscape in front of the long strait part of the creek so that it doesn't show. I would want the focus to be on the wonderful ponds and winding section of creek. Thanks, for posting this! Great job all around!
I bought land in patagonia with three small creeks. He gave me an idea how to develop a stream as a decoration of the garden around the house. Many thanks
thats some big ones u got there, very nice, i'm thinking of a trout pond but i need to run a pump (wich im not too keen on) since I dont have a stream... , and i'm on a hill
This looks fantastic, how great it must be to have fresh trout always available. I'm watching this because the pandeimc has made think at some point in the future i would like to buy land somewhere, with a stream going through it, and try and be as self sufficient and I love eating trout and I was wondering how feasible that was. Your set up is very encouraging, especially those shots of those beautful fish at the end
I was wondering the same thing after seeing a channel on youtube with a goldfish pond, I wondered how easy it would be to keep a fish that could be used for fishing and eating right in your own backyard. That would be pretty cool if you could keep trout the same way.
You’re very lucky to have that in your garden and it’s a nice pond. But if I was you I would have a pump in the bottom with hose running to the outlet side would just help keep it a but cleaner and you wouldn’t need a filter as you’re just running it all back into the creek. It could be as simple as a pump and hose but you would need a fair size pump for a pond of that size 👍🏼
He said the pond is about 25 feet x 15 feet x 3 feet which would be 7007.437 Imperial gallons but with the sloping edges its probably half that around 3503.7185 Imperial gallons, so yeah, definitely at least 3000 Gallons.
Wow your lucky, I assume its a little spring creek with consistent flow, no flooding or going dry. You may want to place some rocks etc lining the real creek to prevent erosion, obviously at some point people have dug a unnatural straight line for it to follow.
This has been a dream of mine for a long time. Love it! What temp is the creek flowing into the yard? And do you find a lot of natural food coming in (insect larva, small fish)? Thanks!
Man that is awesome I would make the stream bigger add some rocks to make it look as realistic as possible but that's my opinion and money and time are always an issue but wow that's COOL.. You should reach out to ED the pond professor from Aquascape products this is something he would love now he's in Chicago but I am sure this will excite him and the rest of their crew seeing something so awesome as this..
Such a cool design and it looks great! One question I do have is, how would you keep the trout from swimming up the creek and out of your ponds and off your property, especially in higher flows from the creek with rain? Would hate for your fish to escape and leave those awesome ponds. Thanks for sharing !
Man that is awesome. Questions I had were: how much of an impact do floods and dryspells have on your pond and property? Also curious as to how the DNR would regulate a diversion like that from a natural source. In WI we'd need permission to do so I believe.
@@JosephWarner man that is so awesome. We have a 2000 gallon pond we dug out ourselves but still have alot of work to do. Would be a dream to have a creek like that running through!
