Hi Ed!!!

Glad to have another member from the Northeast Ohio area.

If it was me, I would NOT put in BG till you know more what fish you eventually want. Once they are in there, you would have to almost go with LMB to keep them under control. BG ( and LMB) can really hem in plans for other fish. Heed CJ's advice above. I believe his one acronym HB was meant to be HBG, which are easier to control versus regular BG.

FHM would be great, but be sure to check each one to make sure it's really a FHM, and not something else along for the ride to mess up further stocking plans. You wouldn't need many to get you started. I would guess a few dozen. Make sure they have spawning sites available.
