I just had a 1/2 acre pond built and it is currently filling with water (only 1 small rainstorm since completion). I am thinking I would like to try for a large BG pond with some LMB and CC for the occasional fun and to keep the BG in check. Here is what I am thinking -
All stocked this spring if the pond holds well
400 - 2-4" BG
100 - 2-4" RES
10 lbs - GS
10 lbs - FHM
Stocked next spring
40 - 3-4" LMB
40 - 3-4" CC
Possibly some HSB as well. I will be feeding as soon as I can, but may not be right away. No aeration. I don't usually eat fish, but my family will have use of the pond as well and may eat some from time to time. I personally am not considering HBG at this time due to the replacement as well as I would like to keep my LMB and CC fed decently well (not expecting much, but a couple of nice ones every now and then would be good).
So what do you guys think? Is this feasible?
