Update on the project as of 6-27-06.

The blocking nets were deployed to growout the next batch of additional forage mid-April. On April 24 333 2in. CNBG and 333 2in. RES were added behind the net to growout. Also added were 66 3-5in. CNBG. Feeding started with 36% fingerling food 2 times a day 10am and 3pm. Over time Gamefish Chow was added to the fingerling food and was increased to 3 times as the water warmed. Now feeding 3x 7am , 2pm and 7pm. Some small BG remained behind the net when deployed. Now there is a crowd and they have grown to 4-7 inches. There are several (10+-)large BG est. to be 10-12in. from the prior growout events that must have hidden in the brush when the net was put out. They are real pigs. Their siblings hang out just outside the net along with some pellet trained LMB to get pellets . There are also some small BG 1in. which must have resulted from a spawn inside the net. Anyway most of the added fish are now big enough to go free . This weekend the net will be picked up.
