THose are some beautiful fish, Cecil. I'm envious, I do not think that I'll be able to grow any that big.
I am thinking that I would like them at least 12-14" (small filleting size) when I catch them.
I'll only have 7 months to grow them and I will not be able to overwinter them.
I could assume that if I want to catch some that are around the 14" range maybe start with 10" fish.
Will they grow quicker with the warmer temps or will they do poorly because of it?
Im shooting about a 1/550th of an acre pond. 10 fish?
When you mention flow rate what am I measuring?
My pump circulates about 1800GPH or 30 gallons per minute.
This rate is the pump to the falls, or the amount coming over the falls.
Thanks again
