I really appreciate your opinions. Will probably keep the ponds separated for now although where the old pond and new pond meet there will be some common water during high water conditions.

I have been told a few differing forage stocking options. One is 800 bluegill/200 redear, another is 600 bluegill/300 redear and yet another is 1000 bluegill/200 redear. Any opinions, good advice? Not stocking CC as yet. LMB to follow this spring.
