Smallest version of TH or American Feeder work well on my smaller .25 AC ponds. Raising LMB in a smaller BOW [.75 AC] can be challenging due to reproduction/population management unless you allow for lots of culling. Consider ladder stocking female LMB from American Sportfish - multiple year classes - multiple species forage base [BG, GSH, ect]. I have several clients managing female LMB fisheries and they result in significantly less management efforts - they seem pretty happy with results thus far in terms of size of LMB attained in smaller waters.
Or......
Go for a SMB/YP/RES/BRES fishery and supplement with pellet feeding and GSH, PK Shrimp, various minnow species [BNM, SFS, LCS]. Dare to be unique, create a Canadian shield fishery in TN.
