Hello, that is a BIG pond !!! I probably know less than Bill D but will babble at ya anyhow. The big brains that actually make sense should surely jump in soon.
Hope you have lots of extra $ cause to stock it in the correct ratios will surely be expensive. You will get a bunch of "it all depends" and it surely does. Depending on many variables the WE may or may not reproduce. The same is true for CC. Crappie(pronounced CRAP E) should probably do well in that large BOW. If you can bucket stock the WE, Crappie and if ya want SMB that will help the wallet.
With sooo much water you have ample room for a BIG variety of fish. You might consider CC HSB some species of pan fish besides the Crappie, Trout of some kind, NP. Musky or Tiger Musky. The combinations are almost limitless. I believe you will be short changing yourself by limiting it to 2 or 3 species and in the looong run the We and Crappie will reduce the YP to 0.
Keep askin ?s and do lots of homework before deciding on your strategy.
You might want to wait till warm up and fish it more thoroughly, who knows what's really in there. Good luck and keep us posted. A picture is worth a thousand brownie points.
