Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Impact of Overstocked TP?

Thanks for the good input, guys. Helps me to see factors I've overlooked!

Adding larger LMB is expensive, but in this case probably worth the money. Last year's stocking of 12 inch aggressive feed trained N LMB made a dramatic difference, as they were big enough to take advantage of forage the smaller LMB could not. That includes the smaller LMB, too, which needed culling!

If I can take out enough LMB the next six to nine months, would like to stock some good size F1s in 2019. Especially females! Genetic diversity is a good thing, as is adding fish that are not lure shy.

Bob Lusk has noticed that BOW with TP tend to have BG that enter winter in better shape than BOW without TP. He thinks the BG chow down on the TP YOY.

Personally, I like seeing my larger LMB pack on the weight, even if it means I sacrifice some growth for the smaller fish.
