Our ¼ acre forage, “HSB grow-out, HSB/CNBG, now HSB/CNBG/RES pond has been a challenge from the start to feed train.

Introduction of stocking large 8-9 inch CNBG last fall kicked off HSB feeding and now a feeding frenzy when feeder goes off.
ALL female CNBG are now being removed.

I have had success with foam pellet flies with 2-3# HSB that intimidate the 10-12 inchers, so I went with Cecil’s AQMX pellet to sink below the surface, and catch the smaller HSB for transfer to main pond.
Larger HSB are being released to control BG spawn.

When I let the pellet sink even deeper the RES jump all over the AQMX fly.
Feed trained RES?
Me thinks so! \:D

Could it be the RES are so difficult to feed train because they are not as surface oriented as other species?


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
