Well I went out there yesterday and paddled around. The first pic is the map I created with the depths. Deepest seems to be 13 which is on the northern side of the pond. The southern 1/3 or so is roughly 5 foot and all weeds.

Weeds are definitely the common theme of this pond. Weeds weeds and more weeds. If it was 5 or 6 feet of water it was full of weeds.

Saw no sign of life in the pond other than a baby turtle and frogs. I know Iowa had a pretty bad fish kill a couple of winters ago and I'm sure the owners didn't restock it. If there's anything in there I didn't see it.

I included some other pics that hopefully give a decent idea about it. Not sure what to think after I saw it up close and personal. Probably 85% of the shore is thick trees/brush so the only way to fish would be the north side where the house is or in a small boat/canoe, etc. Definitely would need a lot of work.

Any opinions are welcomed, thanks!
