Ewest already spoke for me. I know that I'm more conservative than others on this web site. However, I'm not a big fan of smallmouths being in control of two panfish species. However, you did say that you don't have much vegetation, which may indeed give the smallies a chance to control perch and redears. Now, walleyes are very unlikely to reproduce in your pond. So, adding a few now or next spring to allow some predation on your panfish should not be very risky. They can serve as your predators initially, and you can fish them out once your smallmouths arrive. You may want to notch up your smallmouth stockings numbers, but in our studies in lakes and reservoirs, the walleyes just do not eat any smallmouths. I was very surprised by that, and of course, it may not apply in ponds where interactions among fish species is forced by the small size of the habitat.
