If you are stocking adult fish, as Walt said you're looking at way too many BG being reproduced if you wait a year before stocking the bass unless you are looking for a trophy bass. Since you will be going the adult route, for a balanced fishery, stock LMB in the 10"-14" size and around 20 fish. Stock around 100 BG at 3"-5"+ in size. 1 LMB to 5 BG is a typical recommendation. If you plan to stock FHM, I would get them in the pond at least 6 months prior to the stocking of the bass or they are going to be a waste. It's important that are enough FHM to feed your bass until your BG pull off their first spawn. That way the bass have something to eat before they can start eating baby BG... Now if you stock BG in advance of the LMB and they pull off a spawn, the stocking of FHM is a waste IMO.
