Thank you for the tip, Dragon. Currently there are no fish. It does have a shallow area where the trucks drove in, but it is extremely steep. I haven't mapped it yet and the previous owner is still completing the "reclamation plan".
I assumed aeration was necessary but I am unsure of what kind? Do I aerate from the bottom up? With what? Will I turn the pond over too much and make it too warm for brook trout?
