Yup. I would stock similar rate to Sundance. 33 Acre, 13.5 Ha lake.
Strubel is 67 Acre, 27 Ha lake.
So I would stock it with 2500 browns 5-7 inch and 2500 brooks 7-11 inch.
I would wait 2 years and then start stocking rainbows again. I would also start supplemental feeding right away.
Also need to stock early in the spring as Perch spawn once water hits 9 degrees C and then hatch a month later.
Problem with brooks and browns is that they are harder to catch. They also need to be catch and release to predate at maximum levels.
Still it is a hoot to catch multi species.
Here at Sundance we call...
2 species a daily double
3 species a trifecta
4 species a Sundance slam.
