As we begin to build three small ponds to grow feeders for my larger one I would like some input. I am thinking of having one of the ponds for shiners and let them grow to maturity to turn loose in the big pond to survive and spawn. I understand some will not make it but I would think some will and then help in the food chain. I now supply 50lbs every spring and fall of fatheads and shiners. Has anyone tried this before?

I've done it. The problem comes if you don't seine regularly. They don't stop spawning just because you don't need any. They foul the water and die.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
