TJ, with all the limestone that is available in your area, I'd make sure I had enough habitat in place to keep a viable, self sustaining population of papershells in the ponds as well.

You may want to think about having areas of heavy cover for forage fish protection, but then clear areas for the predators to have a wide open hunting area.
