With WE you have complete control of their population, so you can start with a few and add more or ladder stock them depending on how they work out.

That's all I can tell you about them; my complete WE-in-a-pond experience is from one that showed up with our first batch of YP stockers, went into the pond with them, and was never seen again. But there is plenty of WE info here.
