An update on the new pond.

I bought 1-3 inch BG and RES this spring and was planning for a fall spawn, but the little suckers got to work.

Is this a spawning BG or RES?


We have planted the berms and are waiting for stuff to fill in.


here is a shot of the beach and dock


and the BG eating


The BG love the pellets even though they were not pellet trained when I got them.

All of this leads to a question. Now that my BG are spawning before I intended them to, do I need to worry about my fish balance? I have 40 small bass (about 3 inches) and 50 YP (2-12 inches) in the half acre with the 250 BG and RES and FHM. I was planning on adding 10 HBS and 10 LMB this fall or next spring, but am wondering if I need to add earlier or wait?
