Different Stocking Combination....Thoughts? #546582 04/18/2022 7:14 PM

travism	Fellow PB members....what do you think? I'm thinking about stocking a one acre pond with Redear, Yellow Perch, and Hybrid Striped Bass. That's it...just those three. Will it work? I have another pond with the traditional LMB, BG, CC stocking so I'm looking for something different. I'm in Northern Indiana if that's important. Originally I was going to have Black Crappie in that mix but thought they would probably compete directly with the Perch. I would consider substituing Crappie for the YP if there was a strong case that it would make for a better combination. Appreciate your input.

Your pond is 3x the size of my pond. I have placed many tons of crushed limestone in the pond. SMB were stocked fall of '20. I haven't seen evidence of recruitment, but the stockers are fat and happy.
