Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain redear spawn

this is an interesting post. my pond is 7.5 acres and 20 years old. i have owned it for a year now and have seen no evidence of bluegill and redear cross-breeding. each of the hundreds of fish caught looks to my untrained eye to be pure. i was also able to see several large beds this year due to clear water. the redear and bluegill did not share nesting areas. in fact they were several hundred feet apart. i wonder if it is less likely to have them cross if the body of water is a bit larger? jb
