We have downsized a little to about 3.6 surface acres as of right now. It is a lot of dirt but I don't think I'll struggle too much to find a place to use it. As mentioned earlier our land is mostly flat and its kind of low compared to the area around it. We plan to have a few acres raised a couple feet for a house pad, shop pad, and yard. If theres any left I'll have them add some hills and contour to the land. We have a little over 22 acres total here. The plan is to eventually have one or two other small ponds on other areas of the land, we just need the soil from this one to build up a house pad and yard.
As for fish, I would like to start with a forage base of grass shrimp, BNM, and SFS. Then add BG and hopefully YP. Not sure how well the YP will do here in Arkansas or of where to source them. I would like to use HSB and possibly WCP as my predators. My thinking is that the YP will breed earlier than the WCP and help keep the recruitment numbers down some. Nothing is set in stone yet but that's what I would like to do. The HSB and YP would offer some fishing opportunities that are less common around here.
