Being patient for adding SMB will have rewards, and in the meantime you can enjoy all the benefits that fast growing pellet fed yellow perch can provide. You may like how fishery responds so well that you decide to not even add the smallies who will definitely change the dynamics of the YP-RES -minnow/shiner balance. After seeing what a YP dominated fishery can produce in a few years, you may decide to use a non-reproducing sportfish predator in the pond such as HSB or walleye instead of SMB.
