AF,

Just curious...if you have so many smaller BG, why do you stock FHM and GSH every year? Do you have areas with grasses etc for the GSH to spawn. Seeing any GSH recruitment or are the BG wiping most of the fry out?

I had two high water events last year that flooded the pond. I thought I lost most of my first two BG spawn over the spillway. In the fall I stocked FHM and GSH to help get my predators thru the winter with the perceived reduced number of BG available. I think I over estimated my BG loss as I have a bunch of 3 to 4 inch BG now. Now I kind of wish I had not stocked the FHM and GSH as that seems to have distracted my predators away from the BG forage.

Not a pro...just ramblings!
