Welcome to the forum.

I'll let the guys up north closer to your area give stocking advice.

I'm further south and when I stocked I stocked the forage in March and the LMB and CC in the fall. And I ended up with too much forage as it appears my BG are eating all my LMB eggs and fry so I am now BG heavy and LMB light (little or no recruitment of LMB fingerlings).

I'm not telling you this to suggest any particular timing for you, but to show you that your location makes a difference on how it should be done to be successful (the way I did it was actually very common for my area. For some reason my LMB have just not done their job considering reproduction).

So it is important to get information for your area. Stocking in south Texas might be considerably different than North Dakota.

But at any rate, welcome to the forum and we have a number of experts from your area so you will get some good advice.
