I am not really looking for trophy fish just nice sized and fun for the kids to catch. I pretty much followed the state of Ohio's recommendations for stocking but I backed the cc way down and added some yp. Do you see something way out of line? I'd stock about 600 more BG and another 50-100 RES. I'd also make sure that the BG/RES that I stocked were at least 1/2 the size of the LMB in the pond. I'd also toss in 10#-15# of FHM. I would also put in enough cover (porcupine fish attractors, x-mas trees, etc.) that would equal about 20% of the surface area of the pond. That would give the smaller fish a place to hide so they wouldn't get eaten so quickly. Like ewest said, I don't think you have enough food in there for the predators. Both now, and for the future. What size were the fish that you stocked? www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
