On Friday I stocked 100lbs of Fatheads and 20lbs of Golden Shiners. This weekend as I was walking around the waterline minnow watching I noticed some larger striped fish, 3-5" long. After a couple of hours trying to catch one I finally succeeded and found out I also have Perch in my pond!
Given that I have not stocked Perch, I assume they got there via waterfowl. How drastically will this affect building a forage base?
How old would a 3-5" Perch be?
