It sounds about right on the forage but assumes that you will get more rain and fill up.

The timing gives me a problem. If it is muddy, you might not have a planktonic base yet. That is the basis of the food chain that the TFS and FHM's need. They will probably stay alive but would not flourish.

The other problem involves stocking in hot water. Fish can stress quickly if not properly acclimated.

What are your goals on bass? Big bass, medium bass, etc?

I doubt that the baitfish(forage) will get a chance to overpopulate in the presence of bass. A bigger problem is the bass spawning and over eating the forage. I might cut the bass number in half. After a couple of years, start eliminating any bass under 13 or 14 inches. Catch and release plus too small to keep bass can ruin a pond.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
