Well, I'm out of food & the fish have slowed down eating. LMB stocked last fall are 14" to 15" & upwards of 2.5 lb. Original BG stocked last April are upwards of 9". Still have abundant FH. Don't have any observations of the RES & YP. Can't wait for next spring when harvest begins. My plans include harvesting about 200 lb of BG & 100 lb of LMB.

Great work. Be sure to assess the ponds status in the spring before you start harvesting. You don't want to overharvest your original stocker fish.

I will be in no hurry & plan to limit harvest of original stockers, leaving the largest for brood stock. I am learning & open to any and all advise. I have mixed emotions on continuing the supplemental feeding. On one hand, I want the pond to be able to self support the fish, however, I very much enjoy hand feeding. It is very relaxing & I have told my wife several times that I believe it helps keep my blood pressure in check.
