So my pond is inching closer to full and I am getting an itchin to start stocking.
Here is where I'm at on things right now. This may not be a good plan but I'd like suggestions. The pond will be a little less than 1/2 acre and about 7-8 ft deep max (I know this is a little shallow, but I wasn't working with the best area). I have plans to feed as soon as possible, and aeration will not be for a few years (no power on site).
Stocked this spring -
Supplier #1 (Cheaper and closer but less selection)
300 - 1-3" BG
125 RES 1-3"
2000 FHM
Stocked in Spring 2013
20 LMB
20 CC
Supplier #2 (Free Delivery and much larger selection but also more expensive on all species)
300 2-4" BG (or 150 4-6" BG ok?)
125 2-4" RES
5lb FHM
5lb GS (Golden Shiner)
Stocked in Spring 2013
20 3-4" LMB
20 3-5" Albino CC
10 3-4" HSB
I can do a mixture of any of the above as well (this years stocking from #1 and next years from #2).
My pond for all who like pics.
