They had a spawn and I have removed a few hundred fingerlings. The ones I have caught with a cast net a month ago were about 5". They looked healthy.
I need to get a bunch of the HSB out of there. But have been a combination of busy with other stuff this fall and lazy and have not removed any in the last month. They are up to about 10" now with some smaller ones. I have not been feeding them lately except when it warms up and sunny. When we had a cold rain with a lot of runoff they were off feed for a week. Kind of gave up feeding them. Then I fed them late afternoon yesterday and they tore it up. So it is sunny outside right now so will see if they eat today.
I would think the RES would be suffering in there with all the competition.
