As noted above, stock only the amount you intend to harvest, and restock every year with larger stockers.

We overstocked our pond and they are now 6-8# pests and scoop up fish food like vacuum cleaners.

Since HSB and LMB are now our goal - I wouldn't stock any - they are available at the supermarket at too low a cost to fool with, unless you want to catch them for sport. They are a blast to catch on a 5wt flyrod using pellet flies....!
