Thank you Bill for your answer. Yes, there sure were a lot of questions and you're answers were great as usual.

Many of us stock fathead minnows and golden shiners. I wonder how many of us actually get them to establish a breeding forage base. We have an area of channels and islands. This area is filled with cattails and white water buttercup. On one island edge, I put in about 10 pallets of concrete blocks. I'm hoping that crayfish and these small species of fish can survive in this area but I'm not sure they do.

I put about 20 gal. of brook sticklebacks in our lake and they were eaten as fast as the fatheads.
