jimmy, I'm sure you've mentioned your pond size in a previous post, but just for general info., how big is your pond now, and how big will it be when full (depths also)?

I'm in agreement with Dave unless your pond is really small.

As I'm sure Dave has mentioned before, it's hard not to want to put something in now. I wouldn't be able to help myself from at least putting in some fatheads.

I put in about (5) dozen fatheads and about (5) bluegill into a new pond (maybe 1/2 acre when full), that was only 6-8" deep and 50' square. This pond was built for run-off control while the PA DEP was reclaiming abandoned coal mining spoils on higher ground. It may never fill up fully, but I couldn't help but throw some fish in there.
