Quote "My goal is to get the pond into balance and grow some nice sized bass."

I did not go over the start over option. It could be the best option as you get to start with a clean slate. If you go that route then my choice would be FH , GShiners , PS and SMB with a bonus fish (YP , trout or WE). You did say bass which could be SMB rather then LMB. If this sounds like an interesting option then I suggest you get a back copy of PB mag containing Doc Cornwell's article on such a pond stocking.



JUL - AUG 06
8. THINKING SMALL �. SMALLMOUTH BASS, THAT IS. Cornwell describes some smallmouth habits, good forage items for SMB, feasibility of stocking SMB and LMB together. Case history of a SMB and LMB pond is included.

Thanks Bill for the archive index to PB mag articles.
Ewest: Cody is working on the 2010 Pond Boss Index. Look for it before Christmas.
