Just remember that if you aren't stocking feed trained fish and won't be feeding that the predators will need to eat a LOT of smaller fish to grow. In a small pond you will run into carrying capacity issues.

Don't think that CC won't feed all over the pond, from top to bottom. Last week in my pond I caught a 12" SMB, a 17" 3# LMB and a 31", 16# CC all on a Whopper Plopper (surface bait).
