Thanks. I going to stock 750 bream (BG) this fall, and about 75 F1 bass in the spring. That's it. I know with the amount of loose soil and the silty clay in the bottom I will be fighting a water clarity issue. I had a few fish in the old catfish pond, and they are still in the impoundment along with whatever else was in there. I'm going to let the lake fill, wait a few weeks to see if it will clear on it's own, and if not, I'll nuke it with Alum. Without care for the existing fish (which I don't want) I can dose the pond at a pretty high rate without care for the PH. Of course, I'll monitor the ph level before stocking with bream. Thinking maybe I can kill the existing fish (not many) and clear the pond in one step.
Any thoughts on this?
