Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose In what order to stock my fish?

I'd suggest 400-800, 3-4" BG and 100 Redear Sunfish (any size) next spring and then 20-40, 4-6" LMB next fall. If you like a "balance", stock either the high or low numbers of BG and LMB suggested....for larger LMB, stock the high number on BG and low number on LMG....for bigger BG (but not many), stock lower BG number and high LMB number....After about 3 years start culling about 25 pounds of smaller (10-14") or skinny LMB to prevent LMB overpopulation
