Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Is a Swimming pond compatible with a fishing pond?

Hello all,
Thanks for responding. Thanks for the advice on the lily pads Bob-O. I did put some in, but pulled them out based on your input and then advice from the county extension service. As far as the fish go, best guess is we are ok. I went BG fishing and every third cast I pulled something in. Everything from 3" to 8". BTW I just found out how much fun it is to reel in an 8" BG on super light tackle with light drag...woot woot lots of fun. The majority of the LMB are small so the extension service said to harvest everything smaller than 12 inches. Looks like a fish fry or two is in order in the foreseeable future. The big question looming is still the swimming hole. My wife does not have the ability to use a dock set up due to physical limitations. Walk in? Yes! Jump in and climb out? Not anymore! I think I will have to think long and hard on that one. Anyway, thank you all very much for the input. I really appreciate it!
