Steve, I would wait to stock craws until 1 year after stocking bass. You will not have a plant left in the pond by the time bass are big enough to consume the right size craws.
I destroyed a couple years worth of work by stocking craws too early, in fact if it were me (it's not), I'd wait until late spring '26 if stocking bass late '24 so your females will be berried up.
