Hello,
I've currently got a 1/4 acre ground water pond this is just being finished. It was dug with a dragline. My plan is to double it's size next year as money comes available. So the question I've been pondering is when to stock it. Can I stock it this year knowing that it will be significantly disturbed next year? Will the fish survive next year's work? Or should I wait until next year to stock?

To throw in another factor, it's very possible that I will enlarge it again in year 3.
