Nice to hear a success story.
Fish look good, floating island looks good, land island looks good, dock looks good, pond looks good. Life is good!
I remember when I was a kid my dad saying when he built a pond he wanted it deep and with only enough runoff area to keep it full. He said too much runoff area and it silted in too fast, not deep enough and it would go dry in dry weather. Now my dad was not thinking of recreation when he said that (much too practical for that) as a pond for him was something so he did not need to haul water for the cattle. But I still remember his ideas and reasoning in pond building and think they have merit.
