Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Newly stocked pond; where’s the fish?

I stocked my 1-acre pond in late January with 1500 bluegill/shellcracker and 1500 fathead minnows. I set the bags of fish in the pond for 30 minutes to acclimate. Only had one FH that was dead; all other fish swam into deeper water. As of this week, I have only seen one minnow; probably a FH. Is it normal not to see them? How big should the bream be? I’m thinking of trying to catch some with small flies. Thanks
