New pond being built this Fall/Winter , size TBD, but probably in the 1/2-1 Acre range.
Looking for the main species to be HSB.
I was thinking HBG and possibly SMB as well.
Hope to have all pellet trained.
My plan is to aerate and pellet feed.
List of questions :
If pond is completed and starts filling in winter any issue stocking some trout only first for fun and to feed?
In Spring want to stock 8-12in HSB , 4-6 in HBG and 8-12in SMB.
Given that I am not trying to create a food chain other than pellets would this be possible?
What about stocking #'s?
Could I do 75 HSB , 200 HBG and 30 SMB? If I pellet feed would it be worth/necessary to stock some FHM or other forage ?
Looking for suggestions , you can probably tell I am impatient , been waiting for my own pond for awhile and have 3 kids and family so it will get some heavy fishing pressure. Want a pond that I can ladder stock and keep the hook shy down with new stock each year/season.
