Snake, what is your annual average rainfall? In deep east Texas, we get around 45 to 50 inches a year, and the minimum watershed per acre of pond is around 5 to 1. 10 to 1 is better.

I'd be concerned with a very large body of shallow water. You could have major evaporation issues, plus weed issues.

Not trying to discourage you, it would be awesome if you could pull it off. But you need to think it through carefully with expert advice, in my view. Best of luck!
