Great that you are on this site early in the process. It should help you avoid some common pitfalls like overstocking and introducing fish species that might result in undesirable outcomes. One thing that is usually beneficial is to stock early with a small forage species like fathead minnow (FHM) and letting them reproduce so that they provide food for the game species introduced later like bluegill (BG), readear sunfish (RES), and largemouth bass (LMB). Just including a few acronyms used on this site. Best of luck with the project!
