Ok guys the pond is open and need to start getting fish soon! Bill suggested putting FHM RES and some YP at the beginning. The pond is coming up slowly but not even close to full yet! There is about 6 foot of water in the whole thing with a few holes reaching 15 foot. I won't be putting anything in until probably April. All the stocking rates are per acre. My question is do I stock according to the surface area of water I have now or when it is full? Also if I stock the YP now at 100 per acre do I do more the following spring? How many RES do I put in to start? I saw it said 500 then do I put in 500 BG as well the following spring?

Also I have pics on my phone of the pond if I email them to one of you guys will you post them?
