The goal of the pond and why we bought the place is to grow protein for my wife and an I. We are kind of peppers. That's our number 1 goal. Second is enjoyment of fishing and management. My wife is a stay at home and will enjoy tending to the fish like feeding them and 3rd is paddle boating and maybe swimming.
This is kind of interesting. From the actual prepper standpoint, I think BG would be the best renewable food source. You could use LMB to keep numbers in check, but if you needed to depend on them for a food source, you would reduce/remove the LMB and increase your BG harvest. You would be the main predator.
