snrub, the pond will see limited usage, mostly by the grand kids when they come to visit but this will include fishing and occasional swimming, otherwise, I just want it to look good. I love to fish but I usually just hit the rivers and lakes in the area. I don't really have a stocking plan in mind, I just want hungry fish when someone does wet a line. Future plans include a small cabin overlooking the pond where I can spend nice quiet evenings watching the fish feed!
