When I do stock the pond I was going to put in 200 BG, 50 RES, and 2# of FHM. From what I have read in the PB mag. and on this site those seem to be the right numbers to start the food chain for a balanced LMB and BG pond. I am seeking good numbers of 2 to 3 pound LMB and some BG about 8 or 9 inches. Does this seem right and/or doable in a 1/4 acre pond? The pond is 12 feet deep at the dam and averages about 6 feet deep with a shelf 6 feet wide around the pond at 3 feet deep.
