What are goals here? If it's average size and high frequency angling - here's a starting point assuming you will employ feeding program:


Pond 2
Looks like it's going to be about 2 acres
SMB 100 fish fall 17 - can go 50-100/ac

WE 10 fish per year or possibly more depending on harvest - I'd ladder stock 10-15 fish annually for standing population of 25-30/ac. Depending on growth and body condition can adjust from there.

HSB 50 fish initially fall 17 or spring 18 After that put and take

25/acre ladder stock 10-15 fish annually. If you want to harvest or catch more frequently you can bump numbers.

HBC 125-150 as a put and take fishery fall 17

75-100/ac Keep track of harvest and supplementally stock later.

YP 300 fall 17

150-300/ac depending on your harvest goals

RES 300 spring 17

If sole lepomis species, you would be safe with 250/ac

TFS ? lbs fall/spring annually
FHM 3lbs spring 17
PSC 50 crayfish fall 16

Forage looks fine. If you raise BNM, SFS or LCS in forage ponds you can add them in both ponds, too.
