Buff, I fish Lake of the Pines and I know they area where you are located. Sounds to me you have a nice pond. When I built my pond, I planned on bigger, but I'm happy with what I have as I am sure you r also. Many here know I am no expert when it comes to ponds and I ask a lot of questions here. It's always nice to see another here from our area of the USA. It sounds to me your pond is headed in the right direction. Have patients grasshopper

Ha, it's easier said than done. I have no patients when it comes to my pond and I hate the fact I can not see under the water, but I like having a fertilized pond. I have made some mistakes when it comes to the fish, so I can pass along what not to do
