Norm, I am seriously considering building a third pond which will contain ONLY species that do not reproduce, such as HSB, with tilapia for forage that do not overwinter, with supplemental feeding high protein pellets.
Currently experimenting with HSB in "grow-out" pond for stocking in main pond.
I believe there is shift in popularity from LMB to HSB due to LMB management problems.
