That's going to be a beautiful lake! To stock Threadfin, you normally want to have a good bloom going, and stock them before they lay their eggs in the Spring. You get more bang for the buck then. Get the forage base established before stocking any more LMB. Each one could eat more than 10# of forage per LMB. Look into Coppernose Bluegills and Redears too.

Look in the archives. There are a few threads on structure and cover, with lots of pictures. You'll probably get some ideas from there. IIRC Bob Lusk said 20% of surface acreage in cover/structure for a fishing pond. Just make sure that none is placed where anyone jumping in to swim would land on it.

Your forage base for the LMB could be BG, CNBG, THS, RES, GSH.

Any thoughts to stocking Florida strain LMB?
