I have just had 3 dams built- the ponds are starting to fill (1 acre, 3/4 acre, and 1/4 acre). The conservation department will stock fish free- bluegill/catfish in October and largemouth bass next June.

I have added some trees and stumps for habitat. Do I need to add anything else to create food for the small fingerlings that will be coming in October? A little moss is starting to grow- I assume that's good habitat for the bugs the fingerlings will be eating??

Should I wait to add grass carp or go ahead and add a few now?
