GW -- I'll "bite." Hopefully, you'll get other input as well, as I'm just guessing at some numbers to get us started.

Small fingerling BLG, we usually go at least 1000/acre. Redears always seem to go in lower. If we guessed at 500/acre, then your 1/3 acre pond would take about 170?? Probably could go up to 300 or so, given no other fishes?

I'm more concerned about the WM. I suspect a greater chance for them to overpopulate and stunt? Again, I don't really know. I've only caught a few in my life (southeast KS).

Other thoughts from the forum????
