Hello, I have been lurking here awhile trying to soak everything in...there is a lot of information! Anyhow, I have an old pond that has been needing work for the last several years. I grew-up fishing in this pond and have many fond memories of chasing frogs, catching newts, etc. Several years ago it developed a leak and most of the fish died. Over the last few years I have been gradually working on it. We had it cleaned out by the agricultural people, put in a new overflow, built a fence around it and replaced the watering trough below the damn. Last year I decided to try to fix the leak and put in an aerator. The pond is approximately 175' long by 75 feet wide..it should be about 4 foot higher. As far as the depth goes, the deepest part may be about 10'. I have yet to take a boat out and check. I also had some bluegill, hybrid bluegill, largemouth, grass carp, largemouth, channel cats and flathead minnows stocked last fall.
