For me, each of my 4 ponds (one under construction) was as large as practical for each site. My first is a traditional BG/LMB pond. My second is a YP/SMB pond, and my 3rd will hopefully be a crappie/blue-catfish pond. My 4th pond may be shallower than I would like depending on how the water infiltration is next year when I hope to finish it. Not sure what I will stock since my top preference (chain pickerel and pumpkinseed) seems very hard to source. Ideas for something novel are welcome, but only interested in species that will spawn in a pond under 1 acre.
