Thanks for the welcome, guys. My plans are to stock it with enough fish for my kids (and me!) to catch a little. Would like perch and bass but am open to whatever. Will eventually build a small deck for relax over the water and be a jumping off point for swimmers. Just looking for it to be a general back yard pond.
Other things I certainly want to figure out are how to keep the water relatively clean (not muddy) and not covered in duck weed or lilies. I do want to plant some vegetation around the edges to frame the pond. Once I figure out how to post photos, I'll post some pics of the current status along with my master plan.
