Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Help with Yellow Perch - small, small, small

Bwilly - I think your perch are not getting enough to eat, thus their small size. It is possible that the larger bass are target eating the perch larger than the one photographed. The other option is these perch are your original stockers and are not growing due to lack of proper amounts and sizes of food. From your stocking notes (LMB, a few SMB, BC, YP & HBG) you have too many predators and not enough forage fish. Too much competition for the perch to do well. I suspect that some of your other predators are probably also not growing real fast either.
