ok, this will be long winded, but your answers will be very helpful to me.

i am days away from offering to buy a piece of ground that has a pond on it that is about 2.7 acres. this pond was just dug last summer, but has never been filled. the property owner dug a hole in the bottom of it that lets the water drain out through an old agriculture drain tile. where the pond was dug is directly above where the old "main" tile runs. there is about eight 4" tiles that used to connect into the "main" drain tile. all of the tiles now run into the pond. the tiles drain constantly, but the water runs out the hole in the bottom of the pond (which is about 3 feet in diameter). OK, now to the part that i am concerned about. the average depth of the pond is probably about 8-10 ft. we have had a rough winter and the snow and ice has just recently melted with the warm weather and the rain. there is a BUNCH of watershed into this pond, plus all of the drain tiles that run into it. NOW REMEMBER, THE POND HAS BEEN DRY EXCEPT ABOUT 3-4 FEET IN THE DEEP END. wednesday i noticed the pond had actually come up about a foot maybe, then thurday we got a little over an inch of rain which also melted the snow. TODAY, I VISITED MY GROUND I WANT TO PURCHASE AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT, THE POND WAS ALMOST FULL, ABOUT 2-3 FT FROM THE OVERFLOW PIPES. now at first this seemed fine, then i wondered if i would have a serious "silt" problem, have problems with my fish coming out the drain pipes, or worse yet have the muddiest pond in existence.

i know that's alot of reading, but i have some serious reservations about this and i would love some input from the pros here, before i blow my dreams on a mud hole. thanks in advance for the help.
