I was at the pond this past weekend to check out the renovation progress. The contractor has been making the sides so that there is a step dropoff to discourage plant growth and give the pond plenty of depth. The final depth of the bottom will be 10-12 feet all around the pond.
Here is a picture of the pond bank. Not too sure what the slope is but it's fairly steep.
Will this create an environment that it not conducive to bluegill and/or largemouth spawning? Should I have the contractor put some dirt back in the pond to create shallower flats away from the bank?
