Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Forage for a Central Ohio Pond

Another option would be to add pumpkinseeds which don't grow as large as BG and would be easier for the LMB to swallow, also PS's tolerate the cold weather better than BG.
Also less likely to overrun a pond cause they produce 1/2 or less eggs than BG.
No matter what you stock, it comes down to a balancing act.
