Thanks Brian....Most of the water will be run off from woods and corn field. I do plan on aerating once I get power to the site.

How would I know if I'm getting quality fish from my supplier?...I don't know anyone in the area who has stocked a pond...are there specific questions I should ask? The local wildlife club is having a fishery deliver for next month for a good price---250 fingerling BG for $70...I'd really like to get bigger fish though
