Last year we dug a 120+' X 40+' "hole" with a 25+' deep area at one end. The soil is ALL clay the entire depth! It was going to take about 1-2 years to fill-----then the rains started and it filled up in 3 weeks!!! Minnows showed up last year also???? The water clarity is not that good, I 'spose the clay has yet to entirely settle? There is mossy/algae stuff attached to the banks we rake out on occasion. We have planted lots of lillies, strawberries, iris's, grasses etc as well as placed huge boulders for landscaping, along with a few trees. Things look nice this year. What I would like to know is where do I go from here? I would like to throw a couple of crappy and bluegill in it so area kids can fish. Anything you folks see I'm doing wrong PLEASE let me know.
