I do not feel comfortable commenting on the placement of the structures, but the amount and variety of it appeals to me. It looks like you should be able to shore-fish and reach everything from one side or another, which I feel is a good thing.

Two comments: 1) I assume you will be putting in everything you can before the pond fills. After you've got it all in place, takes tons of pictures from every angle imaginable. Try to shoot from landmarks that will be easy to view from once the pond is filled. This is useful in locating your structures later; VERY useful in showing other people where they are. I took several sets of photos of our pond, which help a lot, but I wish I had shot everything from 2 or 3 times as many different positions.

2) If the slopes at the shallow (lower) end of the pond are not severe, it looks like you should have several locations you could do seine hauls at (if you ever want to).

From my limited experience, it looks like a pretty good plan.
