CJ, not sure how much it matter but pond is spring fed. I know last year when the pond was almost full we tried to swim in it and it couldn't have been more than 72' during the hottest period of summer. Actually, below your waist was even colder. The spring at the outlet is near 50' and comes down the hill over rocks which I believe I read helps with aeration. Not sure how much it helps though.
For the bass, not really particular. I like catching both. Would like to throw some HSB in if I could.
I'm probably not going to feed my fish but would like to get a good amount of food started this year such as minnows, shiners, crawfish and maybe some aquatic vegetation. The goal is for the pond to be self sustaining if possible.
