How about with the skinny side towards shore to get the maximum variation in depth over the length of the crib, one with the top end about 2' under water, the second crib farther out? This is the kind of structure I'd think you could add pretty easy after the pond is full; give the fish the most depth choices with the prototypes and see what they like.

You going to stake them down?
