The SMB even before they spawn will hammer the FHM. Plan on FHM disappearing soon (1-2yrs) after SMB are stocked. Once you have SMB reproduction and total number doubles or triples you will have to keep predator numbers thinned out to maintain adequate forage for acceptable growth. Be watchful. Consider using some crayfish as supplemental forage. If you add WE I would add some yellow perch. I think RES will be disappointing as a forage fish to get growth from SMB and WE. Try to have good habitat for GSH because they may not be able to maintain enough brood stock if the SMB and WE are significantly higher numbers than the original stockers.
