I stocked the pond this spring. I got the HBG from Shelby fish farm. I stocked some various sizes. I believe 200 2-4" and 75 4-6"and 6-8" combined, not sure on how many of each. I have fed them all summer high protein zieglers pellets. There should also be plenty of GSH and FHM for them to eat this winter. Also have YP , RES and 12 small HSB . I believe I only found one RES dead.

Bill, I did catch some this late fall so maybe the handling stressed them like you suggested and also it did cool off quick this year. Hope that is all I find dead.

.75 acre pond dug in September 2016. YP, HBG, HSB, SMB, and RES.
