Bubba,
I stocked my 2 acre lake with fish from the MDC. If you have good soil fertility, then they typically provide 500 bluegill, 100 bass and 100 channel cat per acre. The fish are very small, 1"-2", but they are free. There is a bunch of great pond info on the MDC homepage.
You are a little late to apply to get the fish this year. If you apply now, I think they will make you wait until next fall to give you the bluegill and catfish. Then they make you wait until the following spring, 2006 to add the bass.
You should buy about 10 lbs of fathead minnows asap to establish a forage base.
I think all the experts would tell you to be patient and let your forage base, (minnows and bluegill) grow at least one year before you put in preditors.
If you do not want to wait for the MDC, checkout this link - you could probably stock minnows and small bluegill this fall.
