2nd fish stocking - 02/28/24 03:43 PM
My one acre lake in East Texas was built in August last year. It's spring fed, 16 ft deep, and was over half full in a month when I added 10 lbs of fathead minnows and 500 3-4" CNBG. I have a Sweeney feeder for them.
Visibility is 3 ft, pH is 5.8, and the total alkalinity has always been low at about 10. With that much constant flow thru the lake I don't think I can fertilize or adjust the alkalinity. I've seen small minnows so something spawned but I don't know what.
Should I stock more forage fish now before adding Northern largemouth bass and when should I add the bass?
