Thanks guys. Stocked 60 in Oct of 2015. We’ve kept three so far. We have caught two little ones over the years, so there has been some reproduction. This one had no eggs, and pretty much an empty stomach. Not sure what that means. I cannot tell makes from females. They are a blast to catch. I taught the son in law to catch the GS in in a trap and use them for bait. He’s obviously got the hang of it. Ha
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
