My goal for the YP are actually to see how they do in my pond.
I "officially" stocked the pond earlier this year with BG & LMB fingerlings. 10-12 YP fingerlings may have been added at that time. I will neither confirm nor deny if that happened.

My pond seems to run on the cooler side, from what I can tell. Despite it's smaller size, no inlet, and being only 8.5ft deep, it usually has an outflow often around 5-6gpm.
The highest water temp reading I've seen this year has been 78F. Today, at noon, it was 58F.
For that reason the perch
mayhave seemed like a good species for an experiment.............if someone had actually put any in............as I'm not sure.

I'd just like to see how they do.
