James, I am stocking an annual HSB “ladder” and tomorrow I will add 25, 2007 class HSB to ¼ acre HSB/CNBG pond and 25 to main pond.
We will attempt to catch and transfer remaining 2006 class to main pond after transferring some 30-40 last year to main pond. I don’t have my records with me but recall we caught and transferred 15 three pounders in one day - what a blast…!
These are three-pound class fish – don’t know how many survivors remain.
I don’t have the foggiest idea of how many HSB per acre in main pond or know how to estimate.
All I know is that on most occasions we are currently catching three or so 4-5# class HSB per outing.
Our goal is for a P&T fishery, but there has been all put and no take.
To date we have only kept one HSB for the table – it’s “take time”...
