hello fellow pond guys
i'm new to this pond stuff.
built 5-6 acre pond in southern iowa last fall
went there for vacation in may it rained 8 inches in two days and the pond is full, stocked over 1000 fish in 15 days some from the hatcheries and some form local ponds, have put in several lbs/gallons of fathead minnows. i'm planning on adding some hybrid stripers, walleye's, smallmouths, and redears as soon as the hathery has them big enough to stock.
they said by late summer. I do aerate the shallower end 3-4 feet of water, with a windmill type aerator, because i have no power there. unfornately i live in colorado and can only vacation at my property a couple of times a year for now. my pond is almost 30 feet deep in front of the dam. I would like to post pics but wil require help from someone who's willing to walk me through it. does it sound like i'm on the right track?
