If you had a fish kill in Aug, then I'd think I would fish out approximately the same number of fish you plan on stocking. That way you'd be pretty sure that you wouldn't exceed the carrying capacity of the pond. I'd think that it's a safe bet to think all the FHM are eaten already. RAH might have a good idea on how many fish you'd need to significantly change the genetic make-up of the BG in the pond, but I'd guess at having to change at least 25% of the population, if not more.

ewest, Bill, Dave? any ideas??
