Default Pond stocking (need help)?

My dad is going to stock a pond with bass, crappie and bule gills. What sould we put in the pond for sub-surface struckture, we don't want it to be visable? Sould we put gravel in the pond for spawning? The ratio of bass to blue gill and crappie is 1:3.

make submerged rocky points. and also make it go from shallow water to deep. This makes an great transition point for the bass to move to after spawning. Good luck with the stocking.

I know that some have put their old Christmas tree, weighted down, in ponds also.

actually i hear you dont want to put christmas trees in the water its a bad type of covor and the needles wont rot to well under water.. its better to use bigger logs tied to the bottom and its best to do this in the winter time... never use a christmas tree thats just a nasty aciddy pond waiting to happen...... but it is a VERY good idea to add structure to the water.. then you can always fish it!!! nice Clyde!!
