Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Am I going to stunt my bluegill?

Bear in mind the stated goal is a trophy BG fishery - in which case LMB will be overpopulated and likely low WR. If the goal remains trophy BG, as stated above, stocking additional LMB is recommended. You stocked under 50/acre [95 for 2 acre BOW] - you should consider bumping that to 75-100/acre [additional 25-50 LMB/ac] IF and only IF your goal remains to create a trophy BG fishery. Your original LMB stocking rates are more in line with the goal of creating a trophy LMB fishery.
