My parents put a small 2 acre pond on their place a few years ago, never stocked it other than one five gallon bucket with 2 doz small crappie and bluegills ~7 yrs ago. Fished it for the first time yesterday and caught a small bullhead and bluegill, our boy had a blast. Looking to get some more fish stocked in there and also a small fishing dock.
It's a deep lake, I was surprised how fast it dropped off from the edge. Any suggestions for those that have built a dock for a farm pond? Floating vs permanent vs one on wheels that can be taken in/out? We've got a massive supply of telephone poles that need used, considering using those but of course they aren't a permanent deal. Floating seems easy but with kids and multiple people on it I'd like it to be more stable. This isn't a project for this summer but likely next year or the following. Just planning ahead and want to get a material list so I can keep an eye out if there's any steel beams or anything you guys suggest using. Thanks!
