Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Yellow perch as backbone of LMB food chain?

Great picture Cecil! Really shows the size difference between sexes well. Seems to illustrate to me that when first stocking YP, especially in the fall, folks might want to consider stocking 2 or 3 size classes to insure a good mix of male and female. I know one member posted he stocked all large YP, 7 to 9, and ended up with all females. I stocked medium YP, 5 to 7, and ended up with pretty much all males. FWIW if I had the chance at a "do over", I would hedge my bet and initially stock 3 to 5, 5 to 7 and 7 to 9 all from the same fish farm.
