re: Pond Update

Some friends of mine just built a pond a couple of years ago. It was built on very gently sloping land so there are no true deep holes. The deepest part is only 6' with the exception of some 10' deep water in a hole near his pier.
These guys knew basically nothing about this, so everything was done with expert consultation. They were told anything deeper(in a pond like this) than 6' in still water like this is a risk for fish kill due to oxygen depletion. I cannot answer any questions, as this isn't my information-just what one of them told me when I asked.
Anyway, the bream and bass are absolutely thriving, even in the summer heat.

My BiL has a "duck" pond that is about 1/3 acre and average depth of like 18". A lot of places its a foot and the very deepest is 3'...counting the mud you sink into. Pond was never meant for fish but was stocked with mosquito minnows for obvious reasons. About a year and half ago for shits and giggles he threw a couple small bass and small crappie into the pond. FF to the other day when he drained it to do some maintenance he found one bass and one crappie. The bass was 2lbs and the crappie 1lb. I guess they ate like kings with all those minnows to themselves. Never would've guessed that shallow of a pond that gets NASTY in the summer would allow those fish thrive.
