Thanks one answer opens other questions.
1. Is the feeding for the brim and minnows and the bass eat the fat bait?????
2. We don't have bears but coons are running wild.
3. Based on stocking this pond properly how much food is required?
4. What size diffuser do I need for a 1/4 to 3/8 acre pond?

Look I already looking at all this and haven't moved any dirt yet.

I hope to start digging Friday if the weather holds.

All I have is a 580K Case backhoe which I sold some timber to buy.
That was my 13 yr old sons idea. My wife hated the timber cut. I did too but wanted the hoe more. MM
