I have a farm with 5 ponds, just built a new 0.9 acre max depth 15 feet with structure on one half the other reserved for swimming etc. hard pack earth bottom, small section will have gravel for fish breeding. Partial spring fed , not a lot of shade between 10 am and an hour before dark but nice vegetation around. Suspect max water temp in summer here in that cool valley probably mid to high 70. My other ponds have generic farm pond fish- bass bluegill crappie catfish etc. I once caught a bowfin and it was my favorite fight of all time. I have thought about doing something bizarre with this pond like bowfin/perch or maybe given depth even trying walleye perch with a couple bowfin thrown in. Does anyone have experience with bowfin and or know where to get some? Any other suggestions on an atypical fun stocking welcome- not dead set on anything as long as it's different than the others. It has a protected watershed and no ponds upstream for runoff of other fish. Pic attached, but it's full now
