Might be a good catfish pond. Yes you will have to feed them, water quaulity issues may arise. If i were you i would add 25 4-6" fingerlings and catch them when they reach 1-11/2 lbs. Perfect for eating and unless you put structure in your pond they probably wont spawn. Which is a good thing. Keep track of how many you take out and replenish.


I would also slope the bottom to a drain ( NDS has drain covers) run the pipe to gravel bed area, assuming your yard isnt flat. Add a 3" ball walve to flush the pond, the waste should settle near the drain area of the pond.
