Wouldn't you know that a discussion such as this occurs when I'm at my pond property with limited to no internet connection.

For the most part this has been a respectful discussion. Let's keep it that way and help to provide a learning experience.

Although I realize that a stocking plan would be an "it depends" type of situation I would really like to know the opinion of several of our forum experts as to the advantages or disadvantages of a "stock everything now" or a "stock forage and wait" approaches to pond stocking.

Mark Cornwell, based upon his Pond Boss magazine biography, is a professor in the fisheries department at the University Of New York. He is a very well known and well respected individual. Has he written a similar article as the one above discussion pond stocking in southern waters? I found the article above fasinating!

I think this can become a fantastic thread if we can get some input from some of our well known and well respected experts. I'd really like to hear from Dr. Dave Wills, The Pond Doctor - Wild Bill Cody, Eric West, and obviously Bob Lusk. Any chance of some additional input to this thread?

Please note my request above is not meant to discount the experience or expertise of any one that has posted to this thread.
