Thanks guys, I think the first thing I'm gonna do is throw my kayak in there and like esshup said find out the depth and make a diagram on paper. I already talked to the owner and have permission.

The property is pretty expensive (at least for me) and if I were to buy it the main reason would be the pond and timber. So I just want to make sure it could have a lot of potential before getting really serious.

Btw, not exactly sure how it stays full but I do know it's at least 40 years old.

Anyone on here tried or have a walleye, smallie, pike, crappie type of pond? Would it not be big enough? Water too warm or not clear enough?

PS I see there's a guy here in IA that will come out and actually ride around in what appears to be a floating atv and check things out and offer advice. $100 I think.
