Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Winter Stocking

Since you brought up Anderson Minnows, if you do order from them and will be eventually adding LMB, I'd get golden shiners along with fatheads. It will be good to get the Golden Shiners growing as once your bass get big enough, they will be a tasty treat for them while the fatheads will likely be gone in a couple years. Depending on your pond size, getting yellow perch established with the bluegill might also add some forage diversity, but you'll definitely need some cover to encourage recruitment with LMB, otherwise they'll be gone after awhile like the fatheads.
