What are the length, width dimensions of this pond and its shape, oval squareish, rectangular? I think the pond could grow lots of g.shiners either with feeding or fertilizing. Poly culture with another species is a definate option. I would definately use some sort of seine 8-10 ft deep x 100-150ft long to periodically harvest. If fish are fed pellets you could easily concentrate them by adding good and then as ewest suggests slowly pull the seine to shore enclosing feeding fish. Seining will get the most fish the easiest and quickest. Angling for forage fish will take lots of time to get enough to stock the size of waters you have. If you decide to discontinue the forage pond the seine can readily be sold.
