I'm not sure where I said IMO you can do a full panfish stocking before the pond is full. Here are some comments of my earlier advice from posts above:
1. "The only fish I would add this fall are the FHM and RES if you can find pure stock that does not have any unwanted species mixed in. Allow some time for a natural invertebrate and plankton food base to develop in the pond."
2. "Considering what Catmandoo said about FHM you may not want to stock any fish this fall and use the time do better develop a stocking plan from intensive homework reading posts here and self-reflection of your ultimate goals."
