s96,

This sounds like a backyard project. My impression is that this pond will be a feature you will be spending a lot of time just hanging by. How will the pond receive water? Things I would consider if water may be sourced to tap or if it may not be reliable ... a liner is something that would help to conserve water. Lime in very modest quantities should be able to get your pH up.

So the first thing with regard to fish, this pond will be too small to have reproducing BG or Crappie. Initially, it will be about 0.7% of an acre. Also, you don't state whether or not you want clear water. If you are to have high clarity water, there will not be much room for fish. If it were me, I would limit the fish to no more than 3 (1 of 3 separate species). Replace fish as they die. So you could have 1 BG, 1 YP, and 1 Crappie. For forage, explore what you can find locally for minnows that are able to reproduce in ponds. Seems like satinfins or spotfins would be available in your area. You may need to set up some spawning habitat for them. Also, FHM or BNM may be good choices for you. If you can get them legally, consider adding also PK shrimp. Allow your forage to establish first. If you want color, 1 koi or 1 goldfish could replace one of those 3 (goldfish and koi can hybridize so don't put both but only 1 of 1 species).

Stock the fish kind of small. This will ensure that their combined weight will not be in excess of the ponds ability to support them. They will grow and eventually balance with the pond's foods and your supplementation of nutrients. Be careful of how much nutrients you add to a small pond like this. 1 bag of feed could last several years. I personally would prefer to feed from the bottom up. Feed the minnows a crumbled feed and allow your small contingent of adult predators reach a balance with them. The amount of feed should balance the trophic level you are trying to achieve in this pond. If you want to see bottom, it will necessarily be a small amount of feed.

Make sure the pond is deep enough to handle your winters up there.
