Thanks guys. Yeah, just looked at my notes and saw all the negative stuff about the WC/BC. We will pass on those. YP would be an interesting add.

How about the FHM? When do they spawn? Any chance that the minnows I buy in about 2 weeks will already have eggs in them? Was hoping to build a nice population of FHM before the stocked fish get too big and take them all out.

We will be putting plenty of cover in the shallow water and have two huge areas of cover (rock pile about 3 feet high and stump pile about 2 feet high) ini the deepest part of the pond (20 feet).
