40' x 60' is about 1/20th of an acre. That seems to be about the smallest viable "mini forage pond" that I have seen in multiple threads. I am impressed that they made it with only 4' of depth.
I like the concept of a few 1/10th - 1/20th acre forage or grow-out ponds where some fish can survive over the winter. That way when I mess up a big pond I can at least do a small corrective re-stocking.
Great news. FH are extremely hardy fish and can endure cold , low DO , poor water conditions - just not very good at avoiding predation.
