Well first I would like to say thank you to all of the people who gave feedback and advice on my crazy ideas.
Second I would like to announce that our lake is done. I don't know exactly what the final acerage is but I do know that almost 1,000,000 yards of gravel were removed from the pit. Also I know that the deepest hole is 22' deep. We think the lake is between 10 and 15 acres, conservatively.
The pond is going to be used by Oswald Fishieries (http://www.oswaldsfisheries.com/Default.asp) for holding and raising walleye broodstock. The lake currently has some bluegills and crappie, as well as 1,000 10"-12" walleye. Earlier this winter we also got 125gal of fatheads for feeding the walleyes, that should last them untill June. I believe the final plan calls for 1,500 walleyes.
Also the lake is registered as an aquaculture facility so we have no limits, seasons or regulations. So that is nice. I am hoping to have 18" walleye by this time next year. Now all I need is an ice house.
