I really have no reason to be in a hurry.

Carp would be for vegetation control, need to read more on them.

Local hatchery has res listed but says wv climate cannot support. I may be looking into ordering fish as the local provider is really pushing a quarter acre package for my .1 acre pond.

So for forage I'm thinking crayfish and FHM and RES after your guys confirmation, should I add additional variety to the mix? Are YP considered a predato or would they be a good early addition ?

Anyone know a reliable shipper for FHM, Crayfish and RES for the short term or SMB for the long term, like I said I prefer not to feed so I am assuming I don't want pellet trained. Also any recommended numbers for initial forage stocking?
