Ed, there is never a bad time to stock fathead minnows (FHM). Nothing is going to spawn between now and spring, but you could still put some BG in now - they might grow a little over the winter and will be ready to spawn as soon as conditions are right. How about a few trout? You could put about 20 in now, feed them thru the winter and eat them in the spring - they probably won't make it thru the summer in a pond that shallow.
Good luck...


Just do it...
