How deep is it and what was your original plan? Add large mouth? If you did want to cut back on the cnbg there are always people that would like some. Having a pond with fish is a lot better than not having a pond with fish, so what ever you do; do not get discouraged. Lots of Texas boys on here.! They will have good input. My unprofessional opinion is you have set you self up for managing for bigger bass And lots of forage. Was there a lot of submerged vegetation when it filled? With the pond being new there should be enough food for things to grow for a year. What other forage are you planning on adding? Do you want to add advanced lmb or fingerlins? What hatchery did you use.? Are you guys looking droughty? We are here in the Midwest.

Water is the basis of all life, by design!
