The pond will be 3/4 to one acre in size and the island was going to be on the east end of the pond starting in about 6 to 8 feet of water. In trying to work this into the layout I was getting the feeling that the pond was to small for this and getting more convince of this as I think about it.

I know all about geese, been hunting them for over 35 years. They don't give me much of a problem, I think they can sense I see them as snack sticks and they give me room. If the geese give my too much trouble I will have to apply the SSS (shot, shovel, shutup) strategy to them.

A couple of goals on the pond. Number one is asthetics with waterfowl nesting on it, primarily wood ducks, two is fishing with big bluegills the management goal. A dream is to be able to keep a couple of walleyes in it, but most likely not possible atleast with not having a fathead pond to keep them feed.
