new to koi

I have installed a new pond. It is approx. 100 feet by 55 feet and a maximum depth of 8 feet in the middle. I have no intention of filters or pumps. I would like to have a natural pond, well planted and of course some koi. Would they survive and be happy in such a setting? Is movement of the water necessary for koi? I do have a small brook that runs into the pond but it slows to a trickle in the summer. Also do I have any chance of growing lily's and marginals?? I plan on planting them directly to the bottom but wondered if the koi would devour them before they got a chance of getting established. Thank you for any reply
