Bill, Dave and everyone else, I'm not looking for this information for myself. Please don't let my particular situation influence any answers. Rather, my hope is to provide some guidelines on this type of fishery.

Let's start with CC. A common small lake fishery is LMB/BG and CC. Has anyone has used this type of combination? If so, at what size did you harvest fish? How many fish did you restock per acre and at what size? Did you restock every year, every other year? Any other details would be appreciated.

This is a chance for lots of people to contribute to our knowledge of restocking Channel Catfish.

HSB have been introduced to us by Bruce Condello. Many members have said that they hope to try them in their lakes. Does anyone have any experience in restocking? Has anyone thought ahead about restocking rates?

Are any of the studies about HSB in larger lakes applicable to us? Can any of this info be scaled down to the level of our lakes?
