My pond will be fairly large, but the size and depth are yet to be determined. At least 8 acres and 15 feet deep. Most likely it will be 10+ acres and close to 20 feet deep. I want to stock small mouth as the sole predator, but I am concerned that they may not tolerate the heat in southern minnesota. The pond will be completly ground water. It is being dug below the water table, there is no liner or clay layer becuase it is so deep. Does anyone know there temp range? Does this situation sound feasible?
Thank you for your time and expertise!
