Without knowing at all where you live; the size of the pond; or if you'll ever add anything living; Rocks; blocks etc. won't HOLD water.
Shower pan liner material is inexpensive.
Unless it will be Spring Fed; or part of an existing; flowing body of water; you need some method of containment. Certainly you could dig a pond; and essentially form a swimming pool; with wire mesh and concrete.

Pond liner is about $1.25 a foot, by ten feet. Some, I've heard use rubber roofing but, I wouldn't know if that's good for fish, it might bleed into the water.
You can use a clay product from the pond people that dig ponds, you don't have to go to the extremes of cement and stuff like this. In fact that what they use for the big ponds they dig, a clay product that plugs the pores of the ground sealing it.

you can use any type of building materials to construct a pond ...the problem is that the chemicals that they are built of get into the water and kill the fish ..all so ponds split and leak in the frost

cinder blocks sealed with a block sealer and then spread stucco over it.
