I like the way you think Bill!
I don't personally know of anywhere nearby that has a YP population where I could get some. I know I can be in Missouri with just a 20 min drive from my house and I believe they are able to be stocked in ponds in MO.

Anybody live in SE MO and have YP in a pond that you'd let me come fish?

In the case that I can't figure anything out on that front, would you recommend that I go ahead and stock BG and any other forage fish only this spring and let them have a season or year or however long to take off before adding any HSB or HBC?
