Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain LMB and bluegill

Bill, in my pond I have feed trained LMB. I tagged the original feed trained ones, and have a standing rule to remove all non-tagged LMB. But, I am seeing a limited number of LMB eating pellets that are not tagged, so at least some will learn to eat on their own by watching others. I think that it would be a good experiment for someone if they did the same thing - remove all non-feed trained bass a year after the first spawn, and continue to remove all non-feed trained LMB from the pond. I think a LMB/RES pond might work that way.

I also think that within a few years we might have feed trained RES too.....
