I am just building the forage base for a new 1 acre SMB pond. I won't be adding the SMB until late in 2020 or spring of 2021. If there is a lot of rocky cover for the crawdads can they reproduce and provide ongoing forage for the SMB, or is it just a one time feeding type of thing? Will the SMB just eat all available crawdads until they are all gone? I am just trying to evaluate the return on effort! eek

Summer 2018 I put 2lbs of papershells in.. Fall 2019 I took 3 5 gallon buckets of crawdads out while fall net sampling. I can assure you I didn't hurt the population any and SMB were present at the time of stocking but small enough they didn't start utilizing the craws until 2019 sometime. If you have some nice areas that are rocked, you'll have crawdads last for a long time.
