i just found this forum and its great!! I have a couple of questions, i just started construction of a new pond at my cabin. it is at 9000 feet and has 5 plus feet of snow for 3-5 months of the year. My pond is about 10 feet deep and probably 20 wide and maybe 100 long. I dont know what that calculates into gallonage but i was wondering about stocking fish? will i be able to keep them alive during the winter or will they die off?


I have a spring that i will be piping to my cabin and plan to tee off and feed the pond as well. It sits in the low spot that will get surface run off as well.


I was also considering lining the pond. however i have a lot of clay material on site and i tought it would hold water very well.


any suggestions are apprecaited as far as how deep i should go and what i can do to keep the fish alive? i plan on planting trout

thanks
