Hi all new here.

Live in Otter Tail county in MN (most lakes in any county in MN) and even though I currently live on a lake still want to manage my own pond.

Buying land which has a lake which is deep enough for no winter kill and you control the whole thing is still pricey.

SO, I think I am going to just buy rolling land and build my own.

Many of the lakes here are connected by ditches for water control, would buying land with these and buiding a lake with good outlets be good, or given all the ag run off not be a good idea?

In otherwords would simple rain run off be better or worse then a "ditch"?

I would like to have a trophy LMB / perch / BGL if you can have all three in a lake about 10 acres.

Thanks much.
