HBG are easy to source, inexpensive and hardy. I wouldn't go through the challenge of buying them now, caging them and then transferring them to your new larger pond. Just buy then when the time is right...

I am a fan of a diversified forage base. This is especially true with SMB and WE as they are less likely to completely destroy and extirpate most forage species like LMB are.

They may be tough to find but I am a huge fan of spotfin shiners and bluntnose minnows. They will, with the right habitat and proper management remain present in a pond with SMB and WE. So far, the only commercial supplier I have been able to find is Jonah's Aquarium. They are geared more towards native fish aquarists, but if you order these species in bulk, say 50 or more, they'll knock the price down to around $2-$4 per fish. It seems a bit pricey, which it is but IMO it's worth the expense in a SMB/WE pond.

Once the pond has 6' of water or so, contact them and stock at least 50 each of the spotfin shiners and bluntnose minnows. More would be better though... See http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=281556#Post281556 I've given a lot of advice in that thread as well. You need to build the right spawning structure for each species. Bluntnose utilize the exact same spawn structure as FHM. Spotfins however are crevice spawners. The easiest way to build spawning structure for them is to use a dowel rod with a small nail drive horizontally through the one end or just stout rope with a knot at the end. Place a CD down the rod or rope where it'll catch on the knot/nail. Then start stacking CD's one on top of each other. In between each CD, place 1 or 2 washers, old milk caps or something else that will create about a 1/8"-3/8" space between the CD's. The spotfins spray their eggs into these crevices. This spawning device is ideal as it keeps the eggs up off the sediment so they don't get covered and keeps them well oxygenated. The eggs being down in the crevices keeps them from being eaten by the spotfins themselves and other fish. 4-8 spawning structures per acre is ideal.

As you are stocking these species, source some papershell(calico) crayfish and contact Fattig's for PK grass shrimp. I'd look at stocking 50-100 crayfish per acre and 100-200 grass shrimp per acre.

I would also stock 5 pounds of FHM when you stock the non conventional forage species as well. You can also see if you can source lake chubsuckers and Johnny darters from Jonah's as they are also good forage candidates for a SMB pond. I stocked only 30 lake chubsuckers into my pond and they established nicely. The chubsuckers will provide a larger forage source along with your GSH as you begin growing bigger SMB and WE as both species will reach the 10"+ range. This larger forage source will be important in growing SMB over 4 pounds.

Next spring I would stock 1 pound of larger "brooder size" GSH along with 100-200 HBG and 100 YP if pellet trained or 50 YP if not pellet trained per acre. The GSH would be stocked later than the other forage as you have a SMB/WE pond and I don't want the GSH getting too big of a start or they can become an issue as bait stealers with too many making it to the 7"+ size. If you are in the southern 1/3 of WI, I would also try to source some RES and stocked 50-100 RES per acre in the spring as well.

Then in the fall, stock your SMB at 50/acre and WE at 20/acre. The following fall, stock another 50 SMB per acre and 20 WE per acre. You'll then need to restock WE every year in the fall if you want to maintain a year class of fish or biannually if you are fine with gaps in the year classes.

If you are not willing to go the non conventional forage route, then bump up the FHM stocking to 10 pounds per acre and stock 4 pounds of brooder GSH. However, I really think it'll be worth your effort to source the non conventional species!

So a synopsis:

When the water reaches 6':
FHM 5 pounds
spotfin shiner 50+
bluntnose minnow 50+
lake chubsucker 25+
Johnny darter 50+ (off all species, least needed)
PK grass shrimp 200-400
papershell crayfish 100-200

Next spring:
HBG 200-400
YP(if pellet trained) 200
YP(if not pellet trained) 100
RES (if in sourthern 1/3 of WI) 100-200

Next fall:
SMB 100
WE 40

The following fall:
SMB 100
WE 40

Restock 40 WE annually or biannually

Track the progress of your SMB via relative weight. If they reproduce too succesfully you will need to begin removing 6"-10" SMB by about year 4 or 5. Keep an eye on your forage base. If the bluntnose minnows and spotfins begin to get scarce, cut back on your WE numbers as well as remove more SMB.
