Cecil Baird1 is the man to talk to about your project. He should see this topic soon. From what he has taught me about doing a small trout pond like your plan, you might want to consider building a shape that has best use of keeping it cool during mid-summer. Round vs rectangle vs square. CB1 has lots of experience with your project topic.
