As mentioned I have a 1.3 acre pond over 10 feet deep in the middle. There are a lot of smaller fish (bass, bluegill) and some average bass (12"). I want to add trout at some point. Its quite weedy, more and more as the summer wears on. I assume it is spring fed but I'm not sure. I dont have a ton of money to spend but want to improve the looks and quality of the pond not to mention the fish.
I dont know where to start. When I am finally able to get out on it I will find out exactly how deep and the temps. I assumed aerating it with one of the gast pumps as I have read would be a good start but I dont know how big of a pump I will need. I assume also that it would only be running at night to keep the water cool.
Any help and suggestions would be very much appreciated. I cannot believe how helpful everyone is on this site.
What should I do?
