I have done supplemental LMB stocking using all sizes LMB ( under 14 inches). There is plenty of scientific proof via studies on the results. I will find the thread on habituation for you.

In some studies the failure to habituate LMB fingerlings when stocked into an existing fishery with adult predators resulted in 75% predation death in the first 24 hours using 2-3 inch fish.

Look at the links below for ideas and answers. A lot of the answer depends on your current situation including the existing fish population. Standard answer is less than 10 % will live to one year in an existing pond with adult LMB population. But it depends.
