Bulldog, the answer is "it all depends.
What goals do you have for your pond? (what you type of fish would you like to fish for).
Would you prefer a pond with a high catch rate or a pond that in which you can catch a trophy sized fish but perhaps will yield a lower catch rate?
How big is your pond?
What vegetation is in your pond?
Do you plan to aerate?
Do you plan to feed the fish?
Generally a forage base is established and then the predators are introduced.
Hang on for some expert answers.
