Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Feeder Finally Up - How Much and How Often

Rick, remember that your fish are going to grow a lot more on feed than on forage fish - the growth return on quality food is way higher than natural forage (10 lbs. forage fish to add 1 lb. to your predator versus more close to a 2 lb. to 1 lb. growth with feed, I think). Depending on your goal (I seem to recall you didn't want anything that was so big it would be too much for your grandkids - awesome goal! - to handle without too much trouble), I think that would drive your management plan to some extent here. It seems like there may well be several options for you to develop here depending on what you want to do.
