Just competed a 2.5 acre lake, 18 feet deep near dam, 10-12 throughout.....watershed lake that has ove 50 acres of shed feeding it — lots of fresh water every rain above and 1”.

Our end in mind is to have a fishing lake for bass and bluegill and to have recreational beach and swimming.

What are the best methods, size and number to stock for a LMB and BG fishing lake for years to come. Want to do it right the first time and am not impatient but rather want it done the BEST way to attain a great LMB and BG fishing lake.

Should I start this fall? Wait for the Spring? All suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance guys!
