I hired a barge (small pontoon boat) as ewest mentioned. I had the local farm dealer dump a truck of lime near the pond. The barge operator then used a front end loader to place the dry lime on the barge then used a trash pump to wash the dry lime off the barge into my pond. This method insures more even distribution of the lime than a spreader truck driven around the perimeter.
You can see photos of the liming operation at my website

How large is your pond? Have you thought about how hard it will be to shovel several TONS of lime by hand?
