So my pond is full and while I try to get grass to grow around it and wait for it to clear up I am ready to get started planning for what I'm actually going to put in there. I'm wanting to stock is FHM, BNM, SFS, possibly LCS for forage fish. Hopefully also get some scuds and grass shrimp in there too. Then HBG and YP as the most abundant fish with maybe a few LES and rock bass thrown in as a bonus catch. With HSB and SMB, possibly one day a few WE, as the top predators. Really what I'm looking for are not trophies but rather the ability to catch fish every time we try. In my mind having all these species will make fishing that much more exciting because you never know what you have on the line until you get it reeled in. We like to eat fish so having options for good eating fish is also a priority.

So here are my questions: Is this stocking plan a viable option? Are any of the species I included a bad idea or will they not work well with the others? Are there any others you think I should add in for more diversity?
Once the species I am using are selected what kind of stocking timeline would you suggest? Also, sourcing a lot of these fish may get tricky as I don't believe Arkansas allows fish to be stocked from Great Lakes states. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
