NP are notorious for trying to eat walleye while angler's are reeling in smaller WE. I would not be stocking 8"-12" WE in ponds with NP unless my wallet was thick. I don't even like stocking 5"-8" WE in with bigger LMB. Ample weed cover in a pond will help increase the chances stocker WE surviving. Problem is, WE stay very slender bodied and easy to swallow until WE are 16"-18" long. The other part of the problem is NP have a big mouth and long stomach. NP are nature's machines designed to eat slender bodied fish including other NP.
Stick- are you guy's catching any of those 50 walleye stocked two years ago? They should be 12"-15" maybe 16" by now.
