I think the reason I am getting recruitment of CC in my pond is that the LMB have not done that well. I have a few 4-6# LMB but almost never catch any small LMB even while fishing a lot for BG.

So I think my lack of LMB recruitment and low numbers of smaller LMB are the conditions that are allowing some of my CC recruitment to survive.

I think this fall I am going to introduce some fingerling LMB into my sediment pond (where there are currently no predators - used as forage production), grow them to a foot of so length, catch them and transfer to the main pond to supplement my main pond with LMB
