I know that it seems Rex is advising stocking a lot of minnows, but I agree with him. The BG will be eating a lot of the FHM, and if you don't get the GSH established before the LMB are stocked, I doubt that you will ever get them established.

After the first year or so, the stocker LMB will be harder and harder to catch, but if you don't take them out, they'll be growing bigger and bigger. The kids will have a blast catching the panfish, and once they get used to pulling out 10"+ BG, they'll be spoiled. grin
