Small is OK now. The bass are too small to bother them. However, they will do a number on the spawn. FYI, the small bass will be eating the new babies.
That's why I am waiting until at least this fall to stock a few small LMB. It still depends on the BG, RES, and FHM spawns this summer. I might wait until June 2017. The pond was stocked with CC, BG, RES, and FHM last fall.
