Thanks for the replies. Lucked out and there is not permanent inlet or outlet so no permit needed. Max depth is right around 25 feet but water levels are low this year so I'd say 22 ft now. Weed heavy on the perimeter, I'd say when you get between 4-8 feet it's mostly weeds but it deepens quickly on my end. The far end of the pond isn't much more than 10 feet deep. I appreciate the insight! Looks like I need to find a company that electro shocks. Its only my second year on the pond. Fishing has been poor this year for anything but bass and I've noticed less mergansers as well. Im hopeful I just haven't found the beds for the larger bluegill but I haven't even seen the little guys up close this year. Going to be looking into an aeration system as well. I dont own the 17 acres and the other owners don't seem interested in a system for the whole pond. I figure any aeration is better than nothing. Ill be around more as the house is almost finished. Thank you for the advice.
