Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose On Mutt Pond

So I resumed feeding Optimal BG chow a couple three nights ago after a long cold winter. I was greeted with an enthusiastic response but my perception is the BG population has taken a heavy hit since last fall. Plenty of larger brood stock but very limited numbers of BG 4 inches or less. Could be more will show up in the next few weeks as they get back into the routine or maybe that reinforces the plan to remove some LMB? I'm sure the SMB and WE are also applying pressure to that size class BG. Any thoughts? I did see one CC about 3 pounds at feeding time but he seemed more interested in the BG than the pellets. No sign of YP but that is not unusual for us when we first start feeding again and I am not throwing chow in the area of the pond they seem to prefer.
