Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Stocking Hybrid Striped Bass

I may have the opportunity later this week to acquire some HSB about 12 inches long (1 - 1 1/4 pounds estimated) to put in my lake. I understand that they will have had some clove oil.

What would I need to transport 80 - 100 of them about 35 miles? How much water? What should I do?

Any caveats?

LMB were stocked in summer of 2004 I think. Pond had ice on this weekend, but imagine it is pretty open now.

I could place in smaller pond with just rosey red fathead minnows in it - maybe 6 - 8 feet deep. I could put them in a smaller pond which should have just rosey red fathead minnows in it - maybe 6 - 8 feet deep; but may have been contaminated within past few months. I could put them in a smaller pond which has bass and bullheads and green sunfish in it; but probably none as large as the HSBs - maybe 6 - 8 feet deep. Or I could just put them in the main water body.

I couldn't pull up any of the links about HSBs in the archive area for some reason...

Any advice appreciated...
