Ok I plan to add some BG to a few ponds next spring and wanted to know if you think it would make much difference to add the 4-6 inch fish as compared to 6+ inch fish?
If I will be feeding how long would it take for the 6+ inch fish to catch up with the 4-6 inch fish?
There may not be too much difference in price depending on how many I get, but would like to know if it would be worth it to bump up to the larger fish or just stick with a smaller fish and feed.
Thanks
It depends on your goals and the existing fish in the pond. If you have LMB that are 14" or larger, then they probably will eat some of the 4"-6" stockers.
If you are feeding, I doubt that the 6"+ stockers will ever catch up to the 4"-6" stockers.
The 4"-6" stockers might spawn the same year that they are stocked, but the 6"+ ones definately will if they are stocked in the Spring.
