Welcome to PB. The general stocking rate is 1,000 bluegills per acre and 10 pounds of fathead minnows per acre. We generally like to also stock redear sunfish to eat snails. I generally like to add about 500 of them per acre.

Add bass after a year or when they can go to sleep with their mouth open and wake up with a full belly.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
