Your research will be valuable - I'm in your same position with BG and RES in my YP/SMB/HSB pond. I'm hoping through culling all Female BG I catch I can keep up with them. If not, I'll add 10 single sex LMB at a time and judge their impact. I could also add a few Tiger Muskie but I know they'll also target everything else including my SMB, YP and smaller HSB. Not something I want to risk at this point.

I wonder if chain pickerel could make it in NE? To my knowledge they are not present in any Eastern NE lakes...but there are very few well fed aerated BOW's in Eastern NE!
