Good job AaTW.

KY is to far north for CNBG to do well. Regular BG will do much better. RES should do fine. Get your fish from a quality hatchery in your general area (don't get them from a different geographic climate).

Fall is a good time to stock.

FH (fatheads) are good forage to start off with.

You will need predators. SMB and/or HSB are options. There are others depending on your goals and how much management you want to undertake.
