Good suggestion on the pallets. And yes, safety should always be considered. I may have given the wrong impression. There is a "rim" of 5-10 feet that is only ankle deep. After moving out those first 5-10 feet from the bank it drops off pretty fast. I could wade out and place the structure, but I just think I can do a better job of hitting the full 2-6 foot column from boat.

After talking to the hatchery, it appeared that we could stock the FHM and the other fish all at the same time. All of the fish stocked are going to be 2-4". We won't be adding any larger predator fish (if at all) until we start seeing some 10-12" LMB. I was hoping that based on the small size of the predator fish, and considering the fact that a feeder will be used, that we wouldn't have an issue with the FHM population getting wiped out.
