We work with HOAs across SC on similar issues- lots of water, little angling pressure, lets stock it to fix it. As many wise folks have stated here already, a complete assessment is needed before launching into a stocking program. And that assessment would be a fraction of the proposed cost. Would be happy to come speak to your board.

As an officer of a Citizens Group/ Lake assoc. board (6800 acre reservoir) I can say that this type of offer needs to be taken seriously. This is huge to have someone in the field come and discuss the reasons directly with the board OR the entire HOA at large.
Second opinions always good as well.
Test the water chemistry would be my starting point as well. This would be something that in my opinion should be done prior to engaging speakers.
