Well, I received another 3 to 4 inches of rain during the week, and the pond went up about 2 feet. It is about a half acre of surface area, and will more than double in size when full. Still have probably another 7 feet of depth before I get to spillway level, but it now has about 8 feet of water in it. I'll be calling some fish farms this week. Any advice on how long I should wait before putting fish in? Jar test showed that the water will settle out OK.

Current thinking is FH minnows, CNBG, RE sunfish, Black Crappie, LMB, and some HSB. I will be predator heavy, as other threads suggest, to control the crappie.
