I hired a guy that raises LMB & HSB to advise me on stocking rates and put the fish in. Maybe he needed to sell more fish, but I hope not. I will have to check to find out how much we are feeding. I would guess about 200 lb. We are feeding floating catfish feed. I ordered a bag of Purina LMB large pellets. It takes my dealer two weeks to get it in. Where do I find out stocking rates?? We are finishing contruction on a third lake that will be about 7 acres
Again, thanks for any and all help
Dependent upon the size of stockers, 500 HSB in a 6 acre lake sounds about right to me – providing you have proper management to prevent overpopulation and a good feeding program.
I added 100 of these 10-12 inch HSB to normal pre-drought 2-acre pond on Wednesday.
Your HSB will do well on AQMX 600 – I would not feed catfish food to HSB.
I love HSB – a hoot on a fly rod and good table fare as well.
Good luck !
