Before you place any structures in the pond you want to start even back closer to the beginnning of the process and come up with your game plan. Things kind of moved fast, but I am sure you have some ideas (and daydreams at work) for what you are going to use the pond for. Lets get this all figured out:
1. List in order of importance and in as much detail as you would like (the more detailed you get the more detailed we can get) everything you want to use this new water hole for.
2. For the fish, what type of fishing do you want to do? How soon do you want the fish to be ready to catch? Who will be doing the most fishing, how often do you anticipate they will be fishing, are you planning on eating fish, if so how often and how many? Basically in detail describe everything about the fish and fishing that you want to do with the pond.
3. Something you could do right now is to go to a bait shop and purchase 1 lb or several dozen fathead minnows to stock immediately. They will reproduce yet this summer and provide great forage for whatever you decide to stock for fish. They also will keep the mosquitos and insects in check while your waiting for fish.
