Have a new 5 acre lake. Will stock this fall- we want to stock LM Bass, Black or White Crappie, blue gill, channel and some channel/blue cat hyb - and maybe some walleye or HSB- doing alot of reseach and wondering the numbers of fish and timing of stocking/size to stock. This lake is in NE Missouri about 1/2 hour south of the Iowa line- any and all advise appreciated. Leaving the crappie out is not a option - everything else is! We built this lake according to the Ray Scott videos if anyone has seen them so plenty of drop offs to deep water, plenty of rip rap on shore, pea gravel spawing areas, and cover brush. It is about 35% 2-4 ft water, 40% 4-10 ft water, and about 25% 10-25 ft water. Water is clear meaning you can see down 24 inches- we are considering fetilizing to decrease visablilty. It gets clear over the summer and mid winter months and of course is much less clear during rainy periods of sping and fall.
