Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Big problem in my Perch Pond!!!! Need advise

Why? Are you HBG stunting? Did you read my posts above about the benefit of HBG? If Rex stands by their source/genetics, you should have 97% male - should not be posing a population management issue. HBG are a great companion to SMB/YP ponds, but Cody/etc. have suggested the benefit of refreshing genetics periodically with true F1 HBG to help prevent reverting to GSF genetics over the generations.

I would only purchase LMB from a hatchery selling single sex fish - either that or be very experienced and catch them on their bed and verify with milt the fish you're targeting. In your scenario I do not believe LMB are even remotely necessary - I still don't understand the nature of the management issue the HBG are posing.
