Great looking project.
LMB will do fine in that depth of a pound without any work on your part. I grew up on a farm in MI that had several ponds and some of the bass got real nice in size. Great place to take the kids fishing...
When I lived in upstate NY (Apalachin) I lived on a private man made lake/pond about 15 acres. So many bass in that small lake it was fantastic fly fishing...
