With that creek going into it, you'll probably have unwanted fish species in there. Do you know where the creek comes from (do any other ponds/lakes overflow into it)? Shad (do you know what species they are?) aren't a creek fish.

Take a look at this thread.

He wants a trophy LMB pond, but I think by bumping up the LMB stocking ratios a bit to 75/ac I think it'd be a good plan for your pond.
