The plan sounds feasable and well worth a try. Your stocking numbers are a little high (15%) for HSB heavy feeding per per acre because it may cause some water quality and algae issues. Maybe bump up your HBG 30-50%. Locating pellet trained 8"+ SMB will be a big challenge. If everything is pellet trained at stocking you should not need to add FHM. The trout will lead the new stockers to the pellet feeding area. Keep us updated about your progress.
