Thinking ahead on pond project 1.5-2 acre pond with fairly steep slopes from bank 10-12'. 5-7 bluegill spawning areas in shallow water. FHM/Shiners population. After first stock of 2.5k CNBG, it will follow with the only predators being 150-175 HSB. No fishing for first year, 2nd year will follow with moderate to heavy fishing on both BG and HSB.
My question is what restocking patterns for the HSB should be used? I figure if HSB are fished, a balance of HSB will need to be replaced to keep BG population in check. What about adult HSB preying upon HSB fingerlings.

Thanks much.
