Hello CBJS2003 ... I am in Beaverdam, about 35 miles northwest of Richmond. My wife and I bought twelve acres with this 1/4 to 1/2 acre pond on it across the road from her parents. I haven't been able to get out on it to check the depth yet. I've been busy clearing around it so you can actually see it. This pond is over 75 years old, as my wife's father, who's 77 says it was there longer than he could remember. It's been neglected terribly by previous owners and from what I understand, way over-fished and nothing put back. I don't know enough to know what I want to do with it yet. It has a lot of compost in the bottom, along with all of the watershield on top. I found this forum looking for advice and man, do you have it here! I've been reading constantly and it's almost overwhelming. I admire all of the knowledge I'm finding. I figured the fish were large minnows, but wasn't sure of the type. Thanks, Ron.
