It took longer than I would have thought for my fish to get on the pellets. The first couple months I would feed at the same location, same time of day, only to watch the pellets slowly drift off untouched by everything but the FHM. I about gave up, but then in June I stocked 100 adult BG from a nearby lake and they began eating pellets that same day.

Now the BG and original HBG stockers take the feed aggressively, but I've yet to see any LMB or CC go for it.
