from what i been reading on pond construction.. a 3 to 1 slope is good for the sides...since you got a dozer and backho you can design a pimp pond and not have to worry about paying someone by the hour.....i'd shoot for atleast 15ft with islands and all kinds of structure/holes...as for stocking the usual are fathead minnows,bluegill,large mouth bass and a few cats....pondboss.com is definitely the place to learn about ponds.....i'm going all channel catfish....
