I would definatly like some sort of panfish or smaller fish for some hook n bobberin for the kids maybe yellow perch?. The only cover I really plan on putting in is going to be a fish attracter near the dock to bring the panfish closer to the dock.

Three sides will be either a 3-1 or a 4-1 and one side a 6-1 w/ a peagravel beach. 10-12 feet deep

I don't HAVE to add any other cover.

I am OK w/ RES only as well, I have just read where they are not as easy to catch and don't grow near as big.

Perhaps I should provide SOME cover for the RES (or whatever other panfish) so I have a sustainable source for some fish fry's w/out having to restock.

With a HSB only pond I think if I can figure out what the nature of the fishing would be and it being fish heavy I can probably get some good action for a while, and as I start eating some of them the rest will only get bigger. Eventually I could restock and release any fish over say 16"?
