After reading that post I think I would be out of the pond mgmt business in PA, good luck with your stocking. To answer your question look a few posts back, Shan and I disagreed on when bass start feeding on bluegill fry. Bass will start as soon as ther mouth is large enough this is probably at only 3/4 of an inch. In a lab or in a tank they will be cannibalistic on other bass when less than an inch. However in nature there is a greater abundance of zooplankton and aquatic insects. I feel this is the main diet of baby bass until they reach 3-4 inches in length at which time you will need to have freshly born bluegill or other forage items.
