Fertility would be the biggest question. Recently I studied a 5 acre rock quarry in my area. It was shallow enough that I could see most of the bottom. I saw a lot of nice fish, but massive amounts of barren landscape, so to speak. I think it held maybe what a typical 1 acre pond around here might hold, or even less. Had it been deeper, it would have been more intriguing, as I wouldn't have been able to see exactly what was in there. The owners wanted a great bass pond, as was evidenced by many stumps pushed into the quarry. Still, had the property (not just lake) been a little different, I might have tried to buy it.
