Looks nice! And welcome to the forum. There are several of us Missouri guys hanging around here. I've received nothing but good jnformation here. Hopefully one of the experts will be along soon to answer your questions.
I sure wish I lived a little closer to our pond. We caught a dozen perch yesterday, and had them for dinner. Outstanding!

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
