Canyoncreek,
The 26 acre pond is only utilized for waterfowl hunting. It has an average depth of 6' or so, maybe a bit deeper. As I dig some deeper holes in it I will probably add aeration as well. The new pond I'm working on and spoke to Elizabeth about will end up just over an acre when complete. It will be long and narrow and she suggested incorporating a directional circulator to help aeration in the shallows. The deeper portions will have a diffused aeration system. I'm planning to have smallmouth as the primary species in this small pond. The article from PB May/June on hatchery ponds has me thinking along the lines of a couple of those as well. Thanks.
Bryan
