My ton of feed example was kind of tongue in cheek. I did not figure you would be up to that, plus it likely might create more problems than it solved.

But you were not getting many replies, and I knew by giving some bad examples that would shake the tree and get some of the guys thinking about it who could actually help.

From my perspective, and it is from a novice perspective that has had NO experience managing a BOW that size, I would want to put out one feeder, after you have stocked the pond, in a strategic location just as an experiment if nothing else. Set a modest amount of feed a couple times a day and just monitor results. But that is just me. I enjoy hand feeding my fish about as much as I do fishing for them.
