In our new pond 1/3 to 1/2 acre we are going to stock BG and then LMB to control the population. My question is if I want to give the kids BG to fish this spring would it be a dumb idea to stock FHM, small BG, and some larger BG at the same time? I know the best way to stock a new pond is with forage fish then wait to stock other fish, but what are all the down sides to speeding up the process? I am ok if it means stocking more feeder fish or stocking more BG in the fall. I am also ok waiting to stock bass until later. Has anyone done this? If this will work how many do I stock? I was thinking of stocking 5 to 10 lbs of FHM and around 200 to 250 BG. Do I stock 10 to 20 percent larger BG? Thanks for the input!
