Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Which Bass Type - F-1 Tigers or Native

Our new 2 acre tank outside of Eastland (mid west/northern TX) filled for the first time (overflowed several times since!) and was stocked in late October with 400 BG, 100 HBG, 200 RSF 100 CC and 13# of fat heads. All from the Stock My Pond guys that stopped at the feed store. Do I need more? Arms hatchery is not far from here but only carries native LMB. Is it worth a drive to Overton's to stock F1s or FLMB instead of natives? Does Stock My Pond carry good genetics of LMB? I am thinking only 50 of whatever to get started. When do I add them? This all new to me and I'm just trying to get it as right as I can!

On another matter, I have a 2+ acre sediment/wetland area. Most of it has a foot of water. We dug a 30x80ft area 4 ft deep sediment trap. The area is chock full of mosquitoes. Thinking of adding 5# fat heads and 50 BG. It overflows a road in really high flow and through small culvert into the main tank. Gams are hard to come by. During drought it will go dry but can be seined. Thoughts?
