FH are fractional spawners and can be moved anytime the #s are high enough and the size is right. Always leave a bunch in the small pond to repopulate and grow. The FH in the big pond will be eaten.



Yes adding either BG or CNBG from the small pond where they are grownout to 6 inches + - and moved to the larger one will help the LMB grow and insure enough big BG to catch on flies or live bait. A good supply of larger BG will help deter BG stunting and provide lots of small BG for LMB forage. You can gauge the LMB/BG relationship by yearly seine survey and fishing and visual info.

We use this same method via blocking nets rather than a forage pond but the concept is the same.
