I am not a pro but FWIW, IMHO If I was starting all over again, I would get all of each species I wanted to stock from the hatchery that has the best reputation of producing outstanding fish of that species. I see little value in mixing great fish genetics from one source with mediocre fish from another. With that said, if I was out fishing another BOW and caught an incredible looking fish, I would consider bucket stocking to get some diversity and possibly improve the genetics of my fish.

Not to worry, I am sure a pro will come along and give you some advice. Good luck with the pond! smile
