Thanks guys... Sounds like good advice--
I'll plan to try the SMB / YP route, fully knowing it's easy to switch courses and introduce some good sized LMB if the results aren't panning out like I'd hoped in a few years.

On the subject of forage, I'm placing a lot of articifial structure and have lots of rock piles, etc., but I haven't considered much on the forage side yet... mostly because I've read in PB a time or two that a new pond really won't *need* help with that and that native species will find their own way in over time. Unsure whether I should rest on my laurels there, or if it would behoove me to introduce some grasses or lilies, etc., to up my result sin these first few years...?
