I am working on this pond project with NEFish, its a 5 acre pond, a local hatchery has 3-5" BG available this fall, as well as various sizes of yellow perch which I would like to introduce in smaller numbers.
One of my thoughts has been to get a good pop of FH and an appropriate amount of BG stocked this fall, and then consider adding either hatchery raised LMB, or transfered LMB next spring.
One of our goals is to have catchable reproductive LMB next year.
My question would be... Is there a comprimise scenario that can provide a good forage base and still give us a jumpstart?
Also what are your thoughts on the PERCH?
