Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations % of RW for LMB growth

Thanks Ryan. I'll keep that in mind. It looks like the average Wr of my LMB will be roughly 80% this year. I'm working on increasing the Wr by removing lots of LMB 20 so far this year. I still need to remove about 20 more. Next spring my pond will get it's first dose of GSH. I'm getting 250,000 GSH fry from Andersons. The additional forage and the reduction in LMB should realy put weight on the LMB.

with the increase in forage and the reduction of the LMB population would it be unreasonable to expect 2-3 lb LMB by next year? Right now most of the LMB are roughly 11-14 oz. there are a few heroes in the 1-2 lb range.

Thanks again
