The way I like to put it regarding stocking of predators vs forage: A newly stocked predator ought to be able to go to sleep with its mouth open and wake up with a full belly.

That will insure a renewable protien supply and, assuming proper stocking rates and management, a balanced fishery for the future.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
