UPDATE!!! Just my luck the year I buy ground in Missouri they have the worst drought in 50 years! I guess we faired better than most... I only lost a little over a foot of depth. With last weeks rain we are back to almost full again.
I maxed out the size of the pond while it was dry to right at an acre. We confirmed while swimming in the deep part that the water is COLD. I dont know what the temp is but when you swim down towards the bottom it'll take your breath away. Will SMB, and Trout go deep for the cold water?
MoRE ADviCE PLEAse..... I appreciate all the comments and suggestions on what to stock. I would like to get your opinion and narrow this down so I can order some fish. My main goals are 1. maintaining a clean, clear pond as much as possible. (CC will muddy things up I assume) 2. I want to be able to harvest the fish for eating on a regular basis,... so is overpopulating a concern??? 3. Enjoy catching them! The HBG sound great but they dont reproduce right? SMB sound fun too... can they be in with LMB?
Sorry for asking again... I just want to do this right the first time!
Thanks!
