What is the concensus for the number of pounds of fatheads to plant into a new pond in the spring before planting lmb and bluegill fingerlings in the fall? Stocking rate ratio of the bass and bluegills, and numbers suggested in our area for the fall would be 5 bluegills to 1 bass and not to exceed 200 bass and 1000 bluegills per acre.

I have always been under the impression it is about 20 lbs per acre of fatheads, but wonder if someone could get by planting 10 lbs per acre?

Keep in mind this is in one of the northern states specifically northern Indiana.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
