I have a one acre (approx), Central Iowa pond and am getting ready to restock after a major fish kill last summer. There are HBG that survived -- all the big ones died off last June during two weeks of 100 degree heat. There is nothing else in the pond other than the remaining HBG. I am wanting to create a nice family pond that we can fish. The fish farm I spoke to suggested the following:
100 LMB 3", 200 HBG 3", 200 regular BG 3", 50 Black Crappie and 15# if FHM.
I am hoping a few of you could offer your thoughts and opinions regarding these quantites and choices.
Regarding the BC, I get mixed reviews on them from what I read regarding ponds that are 1 acre in size and over population. Some say it is a problem and others say it isn't. With this being said, I only went with 50.
Thanks for any suggestions and opinions.
