Should I put in my bait fish first. Then wait a period of time before adding fingerling Bass Catfish & Bluegill.Or could I just put them all in at once. My pond was dug last October and just filled with water. About 5 acers.
Thanks

Before we "reinvent the wheel" for your question. First try going back to search (top right) and use search words "stocking new" or "stocking new pond" under the Search Forum heading choices of: Types of Fish to Choose, Creating the Food Chain, Questions and Observations. You should be able to find lots of reading about new pond stocking there. If you still have unanswered questions come back and numerous advisors will gladly help you with specifics.
Basically forage type items go in first, allow them to multiply and become abundant then later add predators so they have plenty to eat and grow quickly.
