Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking new pond.

AGree with comments made. One major point. Highly recommend not stocking these fish together, I mean no bass at this time. You have to get forage established first prior to bass stocking. Also too high on other numbers as well. I think F1 bass will do fine in that part of KY. I have a client there and they did fine. However coppernose bluegill did not do as well. I like coppernose but better to get local strain of bluegill.

Goals are not really clear but sound like if building others and want just good fun fishing slightly bass heavy might be way to go. You future larger size ponds are better suited for quality bass.

My 2 cents:
Fathead Minnow 5 lbs.

Golden Shiners 2lbs.

Largemouth Bass 50 1-2� next JUne

Hybrid Striped Bass 15 3-4� Next year-?

Bluegill 350 1-2�

Redear Sunfish 75 1-2

White Amur 4 3-5" (save lots of $ on small ones)

Good luck!
