Thinking out of the box here and probably showing my ignorance... Could gams be another forage fish for northern ponds? Like tilapia, they would die off when water temps drop but if they were easy to source and affordable it would not be much different than buying FHM wholesale in the spring and 'stocking the pond' knowing they will possibly be snacks.
They in a way could be like tilapia offering another part of the forage ladder?
