Thank you all for your input. I will keep everyone informed. But just a heads up it may be a few years before this happens. I'm quite the planner so I like to get everything in line a head of time. I probably wont break ground till at least 2015 (due to lack of funds), hoping some how it will work out this year but not sure. I actually plan today to go down and start clearing some of the area that will be my recreational/picnic area next to the pond. I plan to contact the NRCS any day now to make sure i'm not missing anything. And see what steps I need to take through the state to get everything in line correctly. I think a pickerel pond will be fun. I always have enjoyed them, it makes me laugh when people up here refer to them as junk fish.
