good feedback - thanks.
i'll do 4-5' around the curved area....with a lined bottom on part of it with sand/pebbles out 20' or so from the edge then sloping to 8-10ft.

also in the open part of the "U", isolated from the main pond i will dig a 1' deep area isolated from water from the .5acre to make plantable with corn/millet for ducks/geese just for fun.
