Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - New pond and first pond

After a lot of research from here and other place I finally started my pond. Wanted to thank you guys for posting your opinions on everyone's questions. The archives rock here.
Some information on the pond.
It's being dug in a lower spot in the feild with the clay percentage runing from 19 to 38. I sent in about 10 samples from 3 places at 2',8' and 15'.
Slopes for the first 6 to 8 feet of water will be between 3:1 and bare minimum 2:1. Then it will have a shelf then go to a 1:1 to 1.5:1. I figured the unexcavated clay will hold a 1:1. It's a .5 acer B shaped groundwater pond with one side being for swimming and the other undisturbed area for fish and aerator.
Max depth will be 15 to 18' deep and the swimming area 12' to 15' deep.
There is going to be a small beach on the other side with a 4:1 slope.
I am hoping to have a perch small mouth bass pond and throw in a few walleyes. If that doesn't work then I can always throw some bluegills in there but that is if I can't get the perch going. Let me know if u guys think I'm doing anything right or wrong. Thanks for all the info. As soon as I figure out how to post some pics I will make sure to do so.

No, the only way I know to get them is to go catch them yourself. I have a customer that has some in his ponds, I will try to get a small pond stocked with them here as soon as I get a small one here to hold water.
