My place is near Tylertown. I am amazed that the CCs have gone away twice and have never adapted to the feeder. I have a cousin that is a retired fishery biologist in Iowa. He said that they have had lakes stocked when everything looked great and the fish disappear. They don't see a die off, but yet the fishing does not improve. This is not a rarity. He suggested that I stock the next CCs in a cage. They will have to adapt to the feeder and can be kept there until they would not be in little danger from predator fish. I have no experience with this but it makes sense to me. The most significant issue to me is how to feed them. I guess I would need to come up with some sort of dock as I doubt if I could get enough food into the cage without wasting lots of it if the feeder is on the bank and the cage in deep water. At least we would know how many fish survived the transition to the pond.
