Restocking would depend on harvest and natural mortality. Normally with no harvest you would need to add only 2-4 replacement fish every two to 3 yrs based on who died. If you pellet feed you will be able to monitor who is still alive and feeding regularly. Initially I would stock only one pellet trained LMB. More could be added but you then risk reproduction and an unbalanced system. You could use some of the natural swimming pond concepts - methods and maintain 'pretty' clear water on a regular basis with visibilities of 5-7ft. Reproducing fish will often tend to reduce water clarities due to the small ones over eating the water filtering - clearing zooplankton.
