My perch have been n there since the first (spring 2005) I stocked 100. The spring of '06 We put another 100 in. If memory serves, they were 6" to 8" at stocking. These were all female and have yet to see or net a perch fry. Yes I have LM Bass, stocked 30 around the 4th of July '05 and 9 12" plus smallmouth in the summer of '06. I feed them about 250# of purina aqua-max 3/16 inch pellet size a year and my LM are quite pellet trained. The Perch feed until the hottest days of Summer,then start feeding when the waters cool somewhat. My perch were "faded"the first few years but have become very colorful.
