Ty: To date, I haven't taken any BG due to the low stocking #'s of mature fish in mostly late 2002( approx. 600/19 acres of surface water at that time). However, I may re-evaluate this spring and take a few good meals of mid-sized lake spawned BG from the mature adults of 2002 with a few mid sized yellow perch. 2005 will only be the 4th spawn for the BG and 3rd mostly for the LMB and a few mature SMB. Do you think supplemental zooplankton/plankton stocking and other invertebrates would be a good think for my biomass and if so, where would I buy such things and can I receive from the USA? (I'm not really big on the idea of adding other things from lake communities from around me...little scientific background to identify) The ducks and geese keep the water vegetation cropped low into the water but there is plenty of underwater leaves to hold invertebrates, frogs, dragonflies larva etc. Since adding the ducks and geese with a few Canada geese joining the party, the lake seems more productive with the added nutrients and reduced water clarity. I'm hoping this will account for a good plankton/zooplankton bloom for the various YOY fish produced each year. I would love a healthy productive fishery of good total lbs per acre. Once I feel I have achieved that, then I may add that third predator in low #'s- WALLEYE, and this could change my previous gains with a newly added predator to the mix? To date the relative weight of all larger caught fish are good but the smallest perch 3-4" seem a little on the slim side.....therefore my thinking of adding more food for the younger fish to increase their relative weight and survival? Thanks
