Even in NE reservoirs with good WE populations many of those STILL receive annual supplemental stockings to keep populations stable. If you had a smaller BOW and had limited number of anglers, I can see stocking WE and every few years supplementally stocking to serve as a put and take fishery. I just don't see this working in your scenario unless you have the fiscal means to stock periodically. Public lake also scares me - limited control over harvest.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
