I would be concerned about what the neighbor said about 3' of water. If you have water overflowing your pond, you will never be able to manage it for fish. they will come and go as the water rises. You need to figure out where the flood zone is and make sure your pond is above it. Another problem is you have to be able to get rid of all the water coming in once your pond is full. Too much water is as bad as not enough water.
