Im stocking hybrid bluegill and minnows next Wednesday. Then in the spring I'm going to do my catfish and like 25 large mouth just to keep things in check. Pond is not as big as I described previously. I went back and measured again, its about 120 feet long and 100 feet wide, which is more like 1.65-1.75 acre feet of water, and about .30 surface acres. Am I doing that right? Average depth of 5-6 feet I figure with a large portion being the swimming/beach area. The gypsum didn't work very well. It took eight TBSP of slurry mix to treat one gallon. I did the same test with aluminum sulfate last night, and one TBSP of slurry mix made the pond sample as clear as bottled water. But you're right, I need to wait til spring and get through this wet winter we are about to have. Any recommendations on fish and or quantity? I was figuring about 400 bluegills and five lbs of minnows to start things off.
