I've read through some of the forums here, and some other DNR and private hatchery sites - sure is a lot of conflicting info.

I'm ready to stock a new pond. Stocked with FHM last year. It's 1/2 acre. 20 feet deep in the middle. Not any cover to speak of except rip rap along one side. West central IL (Quincy)

I'm leaning toward the classic bass/bluegill - but have read conflicting info about hybrid bluegill. Some sites say to replace 100 regular BG per acre, and others recommend not ever mixing the two.

I think I'll also add some Red ear sunfish for variety.

Here is what the local fishery offers (sizes). What do you think of this mix and the totals?

LMB 3-4" - 50
BG 2-4" - 250 (Regular & Hybrid combo total?)
RES 2-3" - 50
Albino catfish 4-6" - a few for novelty

Thanks.
