Eric, "Key is to look at the whole food web in relationship to the goals". And that was my question when I started this thread. I do not want to beat a dead horse here. I understand what you are saying. Fact is, after this discussion I have changed my mind and will not restock the TFS this year. My lmb are larger now, so are the HSB, and the TFS are to small to fit my goals at this time. Now, if I was seeing some lmb reproduction I might restock the TFS. Or I might try to catch some larger wild TFS just to see if I can. I am thinking of what Al said about a pond budget. Tp(the gold ones if I can get them) will be restocked this spring. Just not sure of the 12 lbs per acre. It seemed to be good last spring and I may just add some GSH even though they may not establish in the pond. They should help in the open water for the hsb. Al, you had to bring up "pond budget"
