Since I'm not an avid fisherman, I really don't have much of a clue as to what to stock it with. I was thinking catfish and some bass, but open to suggestions.
That might change. When we bought our pond property I hadn't fished (in fresh water) for over 20 years. I think you'll find that fishing your own pond is very relaxing and enjoyable, there is something about catching fish in a pond that you own that is very different that fishing in public waters.
