Hi all. I posted a little while back about having a GSF problem. I did some experimental stocking this fall. Quick specs, my pond is 3/8 acres in size, receives about 15 GPM during low flow, and up to 100 GPM in spring; I also aerate. Max depth 7.5 ft., avg depth 4 ft. Temps never exceed 70 F in summer. I had about 30 trout left from a stocking 2 years ago in the 15-18" range. Also, very few bluegills, pumpkinseed,and redear sunfish were present...all species stunted and loads of 3" green sunfish...nothing else. I stocked 30 brook trout and 25 rainbow trout this fall in the 10-12" range. I also stocked 25 6-7" CC , 25 6-7" WE, 100 4-5" perch and 1,000 FHM. I also put in 8 HSB in the 15-18" range to take out those GSF. I feed pellets as well. Any thoughts?
3/8 Acre pond - Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, GSF, RES, PS, BG, YP, WE and CC. 1/2 mi. of stream - Brown and Brook Trout.
