Looks inviting.

Be aware that GSF have a big mouth and if significant numbers come from the above pond or if they have several months to grow and reproduce they can quickly get to the point where they can easily eat nearly all of any 2" fingerling BG stocked. Been there done that as have a number of other members on this forum. I have actually trapped a 3.5"-4" GSF that had swallowed a 3" FHM and had the tail of the FHM hanging out its mouth.

So either be sure the larger size GSF numbers are low or have not had time to reproduce or used advanced size BG when you stock.

GSF essentially have the same size mouth as a comparable length LMB and therefore can eat a fish about a third their length. So a 6" GSF can eat a 2" fingerling BG

You may have already known that, but if not it can save you some grief by managing it.
