I am in the process of building a 3 acre pond in the upstate of South Carolina. The pond is located in a fairly steep valley that is fed by a small spring that originates on the property, with a 60 acre watershed, and the pond will have a maximum depth of about 23 feet.
I am especially interested in creating good bream (BG/RES) fishing for my family and friends, but also enjoy catfish and bass fishing. I have caught a few HSB in big lakes, and those are a blast. I plan to fertilize this lake, but would rather not have to feed fish, or aereate.
At this point, my plan would be to stock the lake with 750 CNBG, 250 RES, 75 LMB, 75 CC, and perhaps 25 HSB per acre. Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
Thanks
