You have some pretty lofty goals. I am not sure that you will be able to accomplish all your goals in a 1/10 acre pond.

A 0.1 ac pond 15 ft deep will I think have to have practically vertical sides. You may have trouble keeping the sides from caving in at slopes greater than 2:1. I don't think this can be properly done with a front end loader. You better get a quote from a reputaable pond builder to get some idea of what is involved in building a pond with your specifications.

With trout, bsss and perch don't expect to keep a breeding population of fatheads in this pond. One or a few predators during the 1st summer will complicate normal trout stocking.
