That is an excellent idea! Thanks SNRUB.
Almost four years ago I enlarged a small settlement hole from about 20 x 20 foot, to about a
1/4 to 1/3 acre pond. It is only about 6 foot deep.
Within 12 months of digging it, it became, by far, the most fun pond to fish. In about March four years ago, I started with about one hundred 2-4 inch hybrid bluegills, twenty-five 4"-5" channel cats, and a couple of 5"-6" inch koi. I setup a feeder that fed twice a day. Later that season, and the following spring and fall, I added the same number of hybrid bluegills and channel cats. Then I added some hybrid striped bass.
I'm in what is usually cold and snowy territory (except for this year). From about April into October I can take totally inexperienced kids to geezers to that pond. Within a few seconds of most baits hitting the water, they have a decent fish on the line.
I'm a big fan of multiple small ponds vs. one big pond or small lake.
Good luck,
Ken
