Relatively flat terrain seldom gets enough run off to fill a 1 acre pond. One consideration might be that all of the runoff area is under your control. A neighbors land usage changes can effect available run off to you. It happened to me. Flat land might be good for farming but doesn't work well for water impoundment.
Speaking of neighbors, take a close look at the neighbors before you buy. Several years ago, I saw a piece of property that I considered as an investment. However, when I looked at the area I found what reminded me of the movie Deliverance. I passed and the property, quite a few years later, is still for sale.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
