Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose HSB Questions and Experience

With three types of predators, it would seem to be a predator heavy pond. From what I have read, you would reduce the # of each fish type. For instance, I was told by multiple members along with a few biologist to have a goal of 35-70 predators in my 3/4 acre pond.

I was thinking of splitting it between LMB and HSB since LMB will stick closer to the banks while the HSB will stay more in the open water.

I would think if you are stocking a new pond now with BG/RES/GSH/FHM or whatever forage base you would need to give them a minimum of 6 months with a lot of people advocating for a 1 year growth period prior to stocking predators, especially LMB.
