I have no forage fish in my female only perch pond and they also back off on the pellets -- especially the larger ones. So I wouldn't be too concerned if you have plenty of forage fish.
The bright side is less money spent on feed right?
Come spring my 13 to 14 inch female yellow perch look healthy with large ovaries so apparently they are feeding in something. My guess is the abundance snails and other invertebrates, although the .62 acre pond has around 300 large female yellow perch and about 100 large male bluegill.
