Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose On Mutt Pond

Harvest continues. I limited the CC harvest to 30 pounds and that is done. I figure that is enough for the first harvest in a 1/3 acre puddle. Stocking 20 CC 6 to 8 this fall.

I set the size limit on SF at 7 inches or less. That did not yield much. 50% of the SF beat the 7 inch mark so I guess I need to raise that for next year. Any thoughts on what the size limit should be for next year? I see very few SF in the 3 to 5 inch range but I see a few small schools of 2 to 3 inch ones and tons of smaller ones. I am thinking the YP, CC and SMB are doing a good job of limiting the recruits. The FHM have pretty much disappeared as expected but still seeing a few small schools.
