Finally going to have my game pond built this summer. Should be ~1.5 acres and have an average depth of ~18ft. It will be fed by the many springs on my land and more importantly, the outflow from my ~.2 acre forage pond. My goal is YP/WE (maybe PS and SMB also). My forage pond is full of spotfin shiners and lake chubsuckers. I want a weedy pond to provide cover for my forage. I will be adding papershell crayfish to the game pond. I tried getting eel grass established in my forage pond and met with minor success a few years ago. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet plan after my own heart! Ping me sometime happy to share some of my experience managing these fishery types the past 10+ years. Too much to relate on forum easy to review on a call. Tj@hudlandmgmt.com. Happy to help and congrats on your pending project!
