My brother and I have 3 acres of land that we just had cleared, we'ed like to put an pond on about 3/4 acre but aren't sure about pond structures. We'ed like one end about 8' deep ( sloped of course)and the other end about 1-2ft to raise crawfish in. once again i appologize for this being posted here but am not sure how to start a new post

So welcome to Pond Boss gjmcclung, we're glad to have you here.

Interesting a pond designed to raise crawfish. I don't know a thing about them so I'll let the experts talk at you.

What little I know about crawfish habitat is confined to lots of rock providing cracks and crevices for them to lurk in. Gambusia and fathead minnows ought to provide a good food source for them as well. Bluegill, Catfish, and bass will keep crawfish numbers low through predation and wouldn't work well if growing crawfish is the main goal.

We have some law enforcement folks on this forum, so you may not want to admit to using "weed" "all the time!"
