One other thing, looking at your picture again and seeing most of your runoff will be coming from farm land, it is not too early to think about a sediment pond or area of the main pond to help keep sediment out of the main pond and keep your water clear. By incorporating a sediment basin in the design of your main pond, it would be cheaper and easier than doing like I did and build one later.

Just a thought.
