Assuming it is a new pond, it could easily take several weeks for the CNBG to begin feeding on the pellets. First fish you will see at the pellet feeding area will be the minnows. The minnows will eventually lead the new BG to the pellets. At first do not over feed. Wind will blow uneaten pellets to shore to eventually decompose and grow additional algae. Minnows may eat some of the windblown shoreline pellets. The smaller the stocker CNBG the slower they will learn to come to the pellet feeding area.
