BG stocking rates and timing. - 06/10/12 10:55 PM
My southern KS pond has refilled and the fish farm finally had time to stock some FHM this week. My question is when to stock the BG and RES and at what rate. Any advantage to stocking them this fall or wait until next spring? Would they pull off a spawn if I put in 4-6 inch fish in Sept? I've read the stocking rate of 800-1000 per acre of fingerlings but have seen conflicting recommendations of anywhere from 75/acre to half of the fingerling rate if I put in 4-6" fish. I plan on stocking LMB (size?) when appropriate. The goal of the pond is primarily for quality LMB fishing. Recommendations?
Thanks!
Thanks!
