I have just been told by the gentleman building my pond that after his test dig, he can only build a pond about 6-7' deep because of hitting rock. The surface area would be appox. 1-1.5 acres fed by approximately 45 acres of run off. I'm in Kansas (just outside Kansas City) and don't know if this would be worth the estimated cost of 6-7K. If I decide to go ahead with the project, can you tell me what kind of issues I may have stocking and maintaining this pond?

I look forward to your input!
