Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Hartley's SMB Stocking

I very much like that thought process ewest. I can only guess but would guess it's the best approach.
However, if $ are a concern I would favor BC's & Dave's thinking.

One thing I didn't plan for at initial stocking was bird predation. I had 3 Kingfishers take out an estimated 1/3 of my RE stocking.
