Thinking about all the different stocking options i can go with when i eventually get my .75-1 acre pond makes me wonder about HSB. My dad and i spend about 30 days a year in the dead of winter fishing for them and i think it would be cool to have them in a pond.
The goal at the moment is as close to 1 acre as i can, and hopefully 15 feet deep for as much of the depth as i can.
Uses for the pond will be swimming and fishing. I really want a active bluegill fishery for the ease of the catch, but want to have that excitement of catching bigger fish.
Is a HSB in a pond that size sustainable? How good of a fishery can that small of a pond become?
What forage fish to stock and will they sustain themselves as the HSB get bigger?
I can aerate
I can feed although i dont neccessarily want to.
I can wait as long as i need to in order to establish forage fish. Years if neccessary.
I do not have the pond yet.
