Thanks for all the tips.
So I guess I will stock FHM this fall, and if the pond is full enough. HBG and some RES.

Then down the road, a few LMB and HSB. I really don't know if I like catfish; if I stock a few Channels later on they won't create a problem if I leave them unharvested, will they? I imagine the other fish will keep their offspring down.
I know I like sunnies; I can remember fishing out a mess of tiny ones as a kid and spending time cleaning them. They tasted good.

I envision a pond that does not require much management yet will provide some fish for a few people.
I guess I will need to make some habitat for small fish. I can get pallets for free. I also have a few dozen unused concrete blocks laying around cluttering up the place.

Where to get the FHM and sunnies this fall? I would be willing to drive some distance to get good fish.
