fucemup,
How about all those question at one time hey!!
Esshup is right on though. I bought my land a year ago and did NOT have a clue as to how many things you have to think about before you make a move!!! Even a little move sometimes can make a big difference. Take it slow and easy buddy. If you have a fishery near by you, you may be able to get some fish as large as 4 to 8 inches. And in one year your will be catching fish. But like esshup said you need to define your goals and sloooow down a little. There is some petty smart guys on this forum that can help you. Esshup is one of them and I am NOT!
I am still pretty green at all of this so with that said welcome to the forum keep us posted and good luck. Some other guys will be around soon with some great advise and some good first steps for you to take. Like getting your soil tested before you lime as esshup said, as you may not even need to lime. Just get that pond built first and make sure she holds water then you can start worrying about fish. There are a lot of guys on this site that are VERY knowledgable about building ponds also so don't be afraid to ASK, ASK, ASK questions.
Have a good one,
