I've got a kinda sorta similar pond to what you're thinking of a few miles east of Columbia.

Think about SMB, HSB, RES, and YP. That's what I've got, with the addition of some accidental BG. I spend a LOT of time getting rid of BG.
The bass have only been in for a year now, so I can't really say if they're going to be able to control the BG long-term, but I'm thinking probably not.

Check out this thread to see what RES can do if you give them a little help:

Thanks. I've been reading most of your & Quarter Acre's & other MO folks' posts as much as possible.

We're kinda set on the BG/HBG thing due to them being the missus' favorite eating fish, my favorite catching fish & the little savages will hit about anything my grand nieces & nephew throw in the water. Nothing against RES at all- I'll stock 'em for snail control & will eat them jokers as quickly as I will their cousins, but don't think they'd be as fun for the kiddos. I'd just like to have something a bit different in there for an occasional change of pace.
