I’ve searched the indexed files until I couldn’t anymore. Seems as though there isn’t a “right” answer to this question.

I am digging a 1 acre pond. Will stock with bream and bass. Will go with a 3:1 slope. What is the depth I should shoot for? The pond shape is irregular but is around 221’x195’.

If I am reading everything correctly, the slope of 3:1 all the way around will make the pond much more shallower than I intend to make it.

What depths have worked for you guys in the past? Do I shoot for a certain depth from the bank and make a 20x20 hole that is much deeper? So what would that depth I shoot for be?

Any help is appreciated!!
