New pond is almost complete. I probably have close to 4ft of water already but run off area around pond is of course clay and water is muddy.

I will be planting grass and adding rocks ASAP but grass is a few months off.

How soon could I stock FHM in which they would start to spawn? Would the muddy water matter to them?

Also, might add some trout in a couple months for fun, a small amount to pellet feed, qty 15-20 , would they do ok in the water?

I would like to stock other fish in the Spring, how clear does the water need to be? Should I treat before stocking, but realizing it will continue to get muddy with more rain until the grass and rocks take hold?

Pond will eventually have : YP, RES, HBG, SMB, HSB
