Just joined the forum and just completed my new pond. I have so many questions but for starters this pond is an acre or ah little more. The edges were steep to help prevent vegetation and to try to keep my temps down. My goal for this pond is to have only rainbow trout here. The avg depth is 9-10ft with the deepest part 14ft. This Pond is Spring fed by 4 diff springs. This pond is now near full in 3wks.
