JWF, also a hearty welcome from another Michigander. I'm from the west side of the state near GR, what region of Michigan you from? There are several east and SE MI members of PB with lots of experience and very nice ponds. Tons to learn, just fire away your questions. I agree that pictures help too. You might want to learn a bit about your water quality when ice is out and also the soil at the bottom of the pond.
My pond is also small, probably 1/3 acre or less and it is plenty big enough for me to maintain by myself. Do you have lots of trees and leaves in the pond? that may be the first project, determining how much muck you have in the bottom.
Welcome aboard!
