Thank you for your comments Theo, Dave and Bill. What I want to point out here is how we can manage SMB and HSB in exactly the same way. When we stock HSB, we accept the idea that we will have to continually restock with fish large enough to escape predation. We accept that cost as part of having HSB.
For me, the cost of these larger HSB and SMB is about the same, $5 each. I restock 20-25 of each very year. That's 50 fish @ $5 each for a total of $250 every year. I spend much more than that on things for the lake every year.
