Thanks Theo. I think you’re right that YP could be a good choice. What would your recommendation be on top predator fish? Both SMB and WE but not RBT? Or something else?
I think you could do RBT on just pellets. I have no trout experience, but don't see how they could hurt to have along with the other predators.
If Pumpkinseeds are available to you, I would consider them also. Snail (and hence parasite) control.
As esshup states, you've got to start with the forage fish. (Unlike cattle in a bare feedlot, the fish can't break through the fence and eat grass on your neighbor's property.)
If you decide on YP, you may want to put some YP artificial or natural structure in before the pond fills for them to lay egg ribbons on.
