Bill Cody,
I truly like your idea of adding scuds to my pond. As i flyfish frequently for trout, i realize the importance of scuds in a trouts ecosystem and diet. In fact, i believe that the importance is even greater to a pond trout than it is to a stream trout.
The first time I ever actually thought about introducing a substantial population was when i read your post.
So naturally i have a few questions:
1. Is there a easy way to get a supply of them?
2. It is very possible for me to culture them in large tanks, then seine them out into my pond. Is it best to buy a small population and then culture a large population before introducing them into my pond? Or are they prolific enough that they do not need my help?
Thanks for the excellent idea, I am excited about starting my own population.
