Bill- Thanks for the education! Aeration being the key for the digging decisions. Any dug out pond in MN/WI I would plan on aerating, factor of safety and higher carrying capacity.. but that's just me. Those deep dug out ponds get expensive in a hurry so I would dig less depth and design in the aeration system... but again just me.
Metro- Beautiful place you got there! I wouldn't write off your BCP just yet. Have you caught any lately? Have you looked up or done any RW of those BCP? Any other fish?
