Have been thinking about my upcoming stocking this spring and the more I read/research on this site I have realized that patience is best when adding reproducing predator fish. That said, I was wondering if any of you have attempted to have a fishery with good numbers of large YP and RES as the main goal, then adding non-reproducing predator fish like HSB and WE later? Initially, I was thinking about trying to maintain a good SMB fishery, but I figured I could always add them later once I get more $ for rip rap and establish a good forage base. I would love to hear from anyone who has done this and glean some wisdom from them.
Thanks
