Hello everyone, I am working with NEFish on the pond project that this topic got started on.

I was back last weekend (13th 14th), the test hole (30'x 20') filled with about an inch of water. I don't think it would be wise or economical to go much deeper anyway. Will the 12' be sufficient to winter the fish? What minimum dimmensions of this deep area could I get away with? (I would estimate the pond will be about 6 surface acres.)

PS I'll try to get my pics up but they are not real great
Thanks
