I agree with Bill. It's only going to take a year for CC to grow from the size you'll have to stock to escape LMB predation (probably a size up from your original 6"-8" CC) to your lower eating limit of 15". So I'd keep track of the number you remove and estimate how many are left (stockers - removals - estimated mortality), then figure on restocking when you think you've got about a year's worth of CC left to catch.
