My pond ended up about 1 and 1/2 acre.How much of a spawning area do I need for lmb? What is the best rock to use? Is white ok? It would make it easier to watch them spawn but probably would not be as warm.I read about putting plastic down first.My shallow areas are on a slope. Should I put something at the lower end to stop the gravel from washing down? What about cover for them to spawn next to? I want to get all this done before the pond fills.

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
