With a depth of just 3 feet, you may not develop as nice a body as in a deeper pond, but the extra current should be helpful. However, I think you should consider emphasizing male koi. The dimensions of your pond would work better for males. Not every male koi is a skinny fish. Some can get quite a pleasant shape.

Since my pond is a rectangular, I was thinking of installing a pump with spray bar to create the current, as per the pic. The square box is my bottom drain connecting to the filter.
