My wife and I are thinking about buying a lot on a 3-4 acre pond. The deepest hole I could find was 14-15 ft in one small area , but the avg is 12' The small coves are 8ft. Being in Cenral Illinois, is this pond deep enough to winter fish? The lake is only 3 years old and has been stocked from what I am told by the local conservation last year and I have seen a few bass swimming around in the 10" range. Any help would be appreciated before we make this move. I have fished many little potholes in my day that was 10' deep tops and have caught some nice bass out of them, so i would think I would be safe.
