The only other thing that I can think of to add is to check the stream and see what fish might wash down it into your pond. If Crappie could wash down from another pond/lake, then you will just have to learn how to manage them (lotta work in reducing their numbers).

It's always easier to remove mouths to feed than to add enough forage fish for all the mouths. One LMB needs 10# of fish to gain 1# of weight.......
