Its one acre and I've stock 350 "northern" bg, 150 redear, 100 c-cat, & 1000 fatheads last spring. My family LOVES to bg fish more then anything. I feed, have a great algae bloom, have lots of cover, and will aerate. What I've see is that 500-1000 bg/re at 80/20% is the stocking rate per acre. So I'm on the low side for bg because I only have 67% bg of a 500 total.
With all that said I'm also convinced I want coppernose bg and a correct mix of fish. This fall I want to stock 400 2-4" fish 350 coppernose and 50 re. This gives me 900 total, an 80/20% mix, equal number of coppernose & northern bluegill, and I'll add my 100 F1 bass next June which is all recommended right?
Also is there anything wrong with adding more bg to my pond this fall and how big should they be?
