Very important information when designing and building a pond with minimal chance of significant leakage.

Small shallow areas especially without proper habitat will not attract very may waterfowl during the migration. IMO your best success is to build a well designed fishing pond and stock it to best fit your angling needs and not necessarily the standard DNR guidelines. Lots of excellent alternative stocking combinations have been discussed here.

See some of the fish this member produced. But you have to do it correctly by learning techniques on this forum or if you just stock and forget it,the fish grow to just average sizes which happens in many ponds.
