we have a pond we are working on with owner intending on attracting geese and ducks. What are your guys Suggestions to keep them??

The water comes out of the ground at about 100*. and then has one dam before the new one we are building. The current pond does have fish in it but I dont know what or how much yet. It does also have lots of cattails. This water source flows at least 200 gpm and is used for irrigation with the deverion befroe the current dam. the new dam is below the existing one and will be about 13 acres with a deep spot planned of 18 foot and an average depth of 6. The dirt work will be finished soon. We are going to add metal nesting sites like shown by Delta water fowl. What else do you guys suggest to help keep water fowl around??

what would you guys suggest for fish. I am leaning for a smallmouth walleye perch, with fatheads and Golden shiners. I might also try to get redear and pumpkinseeds.
The owner doesnt want anything that might eat ducklings, so Pike and LMB are probably out.

Thanks guys!
