Some of you already know that my pond stocking got off to a rough start. A brief summary is: GSF(at least one)showed up without knowing it, a spawn happened of what looks like HBG, and then I stocked trout to knock back the hatch(also stocked BG at the time). A link to a lot of the specifics is here.

What I am wondering now is what management process do I need to do into the future when I probably have all three species present? Do I, or even can I, try to encourage it to all BG, or all HBG, or forever mixed?

I am not set on any absolute must have type of fishery. I want plenty of fish dinners, with a type of BG as the main table fare and focus. Initially I wanted just straight BG because they would reproduce the most without the cost of stocking every year.

Just throwing this out there for options and ideas that anyone might have.
