esshup,
Thought I'd try Rainbow trout.
ceadmin,
Located outside of Marinette, WI. Yes, I agree the water will probably always be black. Was hoping it would clear up some. Digging this pond cost a small fortune as it was, two excavators going for 10 days. Figure we dug and moved about 15,000 cy. Couldn't afford to truck in clay, kept the sand on site and filled in where I want to build next year.
To all,
Everyone has given lots of good info that will take awhile to digest. After raising the berm another foot or so and adding topsoil, should I try to plant anything special or just rye. The pond is going to be enlarged slightly this fall. I'm not happy with one side of it. But all in all a nice little pond, that's pretty deep. Please keep the suggestions coming, if anyone thinks of something I should be doing.
Regards,
Ben
