Hi Eastland. Good point, and one I should have covered. I need to be like Bill Cody and really work out careful responses before posting. I generally think as I type. Dangerous! :-)
OK, back to your question: neither of those ponds had bluegills! The bass were purposely allowed to become high density, and the goal was to produce those big black crappies. No other fishes were present in the SD pond, and the KS pond had just a very few green sunfish (the LMB nearly had them eliminated). As I said earlier, a simple and safe combination.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating. I've learned many things from pondmeisters on this forum. Perhaps my favorite lesson is that very simple (e.g., female yellow perch only in a pond) or very complex stocking combinations often are made to work by truly interested pondmeisters.
