Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Right amounts of fish?

Make sure your HBG are big enough to not bee eaten by your bass and cross your fingers it all comes out in the end. It seems that a typical small BOW stocking for a LMB/HBG/BG pond either puts the BG and LMB in at the same time IF the goal is a BG pond. OR, the BG/HBG go in first and the bass go in later IF the goal is a good bass pond. Either way, your plan is a bit backwards compared to most I read about here. Certainly all is not lost, just make sure you BG are close in size to our bass. I have read tate a LMB can/will eat fish 2/3rd's their own length. This way it closely mocks a small BOW bass pond stocking method. If your HBG can be much larger than the already stocked LMB, then you start approaching the BG pond goals. remember that your bass have grown this year eating on those FHM's and will likely no longer be 3" long.
