With that large of a lake you probably have a large watershed. Are there any other ponds in that watershed? If so there is a good chance your new lake will get infected this spring with various species of fish- some you may not want to let have a full year's head start before you stock. I'd talk to a MO fisheries biologist - they are happy to give you an opinion.
