From my experence, having a fair sized dugout that's approx 1/2 acre and a max depth 32 ft.
Have had great luck with rainbows, and also tried some brook 2 yrs ago.
The biggest problem we had was with Blue Herons which unbelievably will kill many fish over 5 lbs by spearing them with thier beek in the shallows.
These fish float up the next day dead and some mornings you can find a dozen or more! We tried dying the water but that didn't seem to stop them.
That not being bad enough about 3 weeks after stocking 2 yrs ago, we discovered a bunch of cormorants found our fish! Well within 5 days we never saw a fish in the water. They got them all in a week, and we haven't stocked since.
Legally there is little to do except for covering the dugout entirely with a netting, which I don't plan on doing! The first few yrs were great lots of fish, great fun for the little kids.
Was fun to just throw out some feed and watch them jump an swirl for an hour in the evening.
Anyway good luck and hope those terrible birds don't find your fish!
