Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain LGMB YP and BG

Yes, I have stocked FHM twice. Once when the pond was very new and still filling up (only about 4' of water in the deep end) I put in a few thousand. A few months later I put several thousand more. I can see that there are lots of FHM and I can also see lots of small bluegill. I pulled two of the largest snapping turtles i'd ever seen out this year too so I'm not sure what impact they had on the fish population but they may have eaten some.

I feed them pellets about once a week. It's hard to tell what is hitting on the pellets sometimes but I mostly see bluegill.
