None of mine were eating pellets previously. This year just for the heck of it, I stocked 4 adult (1 1/4# each) pellet trained LMB. Those guys seem to be the only ones eating any pellets. I "feed trained" a few LMB 2 years ago by catching some 3"-4" BG when the feeder went off, and slipped a small hook into their tail so I could dangle them just in the water at the feeder. The LMB learned really quick about the free meal, and they'd jump out of the water to get to the BG as I was lowering it down. I'd give a quick yank on the line to pull the hook out of the BG so I wouldn't hook one of the LMB's.
