Well, as it usually happens, I start off with too many projects for the season but this ones on top of the list this year.

I already have 2 ponds so why not have 3 right?

So, the good news is that it's already there or started I would say. It's in bad shape and has been taken over by cattail and algae. Currently there are no fish in it but the goal is to get some forage fish going to help the food in my main ponds.

Currently the size is about 45ft by 25ft and about 3ft deep.
My question to everyone is this... Given the start on it, what would be the best thing I could do for it.

I was thinking about FHM, and golden shiners in it since I am still trying to add these guys to an established pond. I thought the size would work OK but add some gravel/sand with some pallets and a small fountain for water movement.

In order to get the cattail out I'm going to just dig it out, should I consider increasing depth or size?
