Damone: Sorry to hear about your fears, but it might not be as bad as you expect. First winter for my newest pond, had less than 3 feet of water before she froze. Had already stocked tons of FHM and RES...had to pretty near freeze to the bottom, but they seemed to survive.

Maybe punch a few holes now and then, or sweep some snow off. Doesn't take all that much sunlight for plankton to do it's oxygen "thing".

Good luck...
