Bill has hit a lot of important points. I think the fact that this is a public pond needs to be one of the foremost considerations when considering how to stock it. Don't forget to consider the effects of LMB harvesting. Do you have any young fishermen in the neighborhood?

Undoubtedly the accepted method to stocking this pond would be to kill everything in it ($$$), stock BG ($$) and fatheads ($$) followed by fingerling LMB at a later date ($$$). Most professionals will recommend this as the safest option. Personally I would not sink that much of my money on an essentially public pond. It doesn't sound like Terry wants to either. There are other more worthwhile charities. I think everyone has given you solid advise on what will be necessary if you choose to stock the adult bass. Good luck and keep us posted.
