Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Too many fish to start with ?

Whatever size BG you stock now, your kids should be able to C&R them next year. Forage fish may be at their most aggressive in a new pond before the LMB get big enough to scare some brains into them.

The LMB will be living on mostly FHM for a year or so; by the time they have wiped out the FHM the CNBG should be spawning. 3"-5" CNBG would spawn sooner than smaller ones; judging from up here I would not expect a spawn from them this year but ASAP next year.
