I would personally try to avoid a spawning area. I prefer an open area where the fish should naturally congregate. Some people make the mistake of putting a feeder where it is convenient for them and hope the fish will travel to it.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
