The project is feasible. Do you know the small pond's alklinity?Fertilizing it somewhat would boost numbers of YP you could grow. Correct fertilization is a tricky process and has to be timed correctly in spring so you grow plankton not algae and weeds in only 4 ft of water. If fertilization is not an option considering grinding fish food and feeding shiners. Some of the new YP will take to also eating the ground food when watching the shiners eat. Also feeding the shiners at YP hatching will decrease the predation of the YP fry.
