Asleep - existing brush is probably too deep and inaccessable for removing YP egg strands. Temporary or removeable brush makes eggs easier to see and egg removal much easier. Fenders Fish Hatchery south of you near Charm usu has a few fingerling SMB in late fall: now to early Nov. Call for details.
Wild YP will be very difficult to ever get to eat pellets so count on them eating a fair amount of smaller fish. Your existing batch of YP and MAYBE to a small extent the larger BG probably ate a lot of the FHM. I would add 20 lbs of FHM - maybe 10 lbs early and 10 lbs when SMB are added. 10LBS of FHM will not last long with 137 adult YP. Getting the proper harvest rate of larger YP will be tricky. This will depend on how well the SMB are recruiting individuals each year.
