Well I've learned a lot from this thread. Looks like I've, more than likely, missed the spawn for this year. I'll just have to hope they get it done next year.
I won't receive fish for a few weeks.
I'm looking at stocking:
1000, 2-4" YP, 300, 4-7" YP, and 20# adult YP into a acre and a half new pond that's about 12' deep with 8' average depth.
I'll put in SMB this fall (hopefully) I put in FHM last summer, and I'm adding more now along with some GS.
Does this sound like a sound plan to you guys?
I do plan on running a feeder now, and getting aeration set up "next" summer.

12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
