Think of FHM like fatwood - great to get things going - but you wouldn't feed a fireplace with them - instant combustion.

Some FHM are fine in the beginning, but have your stocking strategy in place with other forage sources appropriate to your goals. Shiner species, minnow species, crayfish, shad, BG and RES...all are useful tools depending on your goals for the fishery. Start there, and we can help provide direction on a stocking plan for forage and predator species.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
