WoW! Fifty feet in diameter an 12 feet deep?and end up with a pond about 12 feet deep and about 50 feet diameter.
And the eastern red cedar in the pond usually makes for good Crappie fishing .You are on the right track with stocking fish from your area rather than importing some that might not adapt. I would go for diverse species and let nuture decide which floresh and which struggle. Give them a place to escape/hide from water fowel. We place Eastern Red Cedar ( Juniperus virginiana L.) in ponds we build for cattle. They have small,dense limbs that take longer to rot than most other trees.
That's true but unless crappie are fished heavy in a small pond and not returned after caught they quickly over-populate which results in non getting any size. The reverse is true of Appaloosa Catfish that eat everything in a pond and get huge. We forbid using live aquatic bait in our ponds because you never know what minnows will grow to be.And the eastern red cedar in the pond usually makes for good Crappie fishing .
If you saw where the pond is and would be you would understand. Whidbey Island has a topography that was sculpted by glaciers and their retreat some 15, 000 years ago. The result is that there are lots of deep and narrow cuts, kinda like small valleys, in many areas on the island. The island is mostly glacial till.WoW! Fifty feet in diameter an 12 feet deep?
My spring fed pond is probably only 75 feet in diameter and maybe averages at best 4' deep.
Lots of gold fish and other fish, and frogs too. Never worried about mosquitoes so they must not be an issue for us.
