One of the questions I have on this pond is regarding fish. If I choose not to fix the "leak" and I continue to pump well water which is about 52 or so degrees at a rate of about 3000-4000 gallons per day(my calculated loss with rough numbers) which will help cool the pond, do you think it would be a viable option for trout? My well pump puts out at max rate about 16,000 gallons per day if needed.

I know there is a lot of other variables, I have aeration planned etc and there are other variables, but maybe the leak wouldn't be a bad thing if it allowed me to keep cooler water in the pond? I would have to take temp readings in summer to determine temps, etc, so this was just a brainstorm trying to make best of the situation.
