Looks like I have some homework to do. Will get accurate acreage, test the waters and read up before I take the next step. We like to catch big fish! The pond is spring fed as long as we don't have severe droughts. When the water table drops too low the springs dry up. So we do get fresh water coming in that way and from upstream in heavy rains. We had very active good size largemouth bass before the severe drought this year and had never(in 30 years)stocked the property.
