Bill,
In your opinion, how many LMB should I look into stocking. My plan was to get my hands on five 12" fish. Now that we've passed their primary spawning season, I figured it would be next spring before they tried to spawn again. I realize there's the possibility of a later spawn this year, but was thinking the transplant activity would likely deter that for this year. That size LMB would be able feed on anything up to about 3" long.

Again, it's a 1/4 acre pond, sandy clay bottom, nothing to speak of for cover at the moment and 12 foot deep. Due to the lack of rain, it's down about a foot from full pool.

Thanks again.

.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
