Ewest is right - - definitely not green sunfish. I love ewest's idea of adding some adult fish. The articles in Pond Boss will give you much guidance in this respect. Check your local game laws about transporting adult fish, but in a pond that size you can have an immediate impact on the fishery in a very positive way.

IMHO, the best thing about a pond your size is the fact you can greatly affect the populations and size structures through angling pressure. It's a great situation.

If nothing else, remember the following edict.

"What goes in, may be really tough to get out". I.E. Don't introduce any species until you've thoroughly evaluated the consequenses. Most of us here at Pond Boss have made that mistake at least once.

There's also a great article in last months issue discussing the LMB/BG interrelationship by Dr. Dave Willis. Great reading and extremely applicable in your situation.

I love smallmouth, and cannot think of a single reason that you can't have them as a bonus fish, especially is you're willing to add a few advanced size fish every two or three years to augment the population.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
