Wow i was way off. Dave your right about the often quoted 10 pounds per acre. I have seen that multiple times and that is what i was basing my original stocking plans on. There is also so much vegetation growing that it sounds like i would have been disappointed just adding 15 pounds. Thanks guys

Just a little update i went down to the pond yesterday and fished for about an hour. measured one fish that was 18- 1/8th inches long and exactly 3 pounds. I really have no idea how to calculate the RW% but if i am remembering the chart correctly i think it was underweight. Also i didnt see near as many bluegill swimming around as a month ago. Did see 3 BG that were guarding beds in the shallows. We added some gravel as a boat ramp a couple years ago and the bluegill had made dish shaped beds with gravel in the bottom. I Think i will add 2 or 3 more gravel areas.
