If you want HSB to manage your BG population, limit or eliminate your pellet program and rely on aquatic invertabrates to grow your BG. That's my recommendation. I just don't have the guts to stop the feeding...but I should, and measure the impact on my BG population.
Agreed!
TJ, if you want to get your HSB on natural forage you have to stop feeding for some time, depending upon size of stockers. With no large predators and good FHM/BG forage base, stock fingerling HSB - they may never get on pellets.
Large HSB stockers are harder to forage train.
