AR,

Sounds like you have found your dream situation. Congrats!

I was going to type that you could build a forage pond and fill it with diverted spring water, and then isolate it so the water will warm - but then I saw that Mr. Cody made the same suggestion.

It is generally much cheaper to do that kind of project, when the big equipment is already on your property for construction of your two large ponds. Even if your PK shrimp project is a bust, your "forage pond" could be converted to a grow out pond or a breeder pond.

It is nice to have lots of options available for your long term plans.

Good luck on your trout paradise!
