Yes, he's seeing a decrease in HBG numbers. I believe the pond was stocked in late 2008/early 2009. I think the HBG were supposed to be BG, he had a bad stocking experience or 2......

He wants large BG and HSB wtih plenty of small LMB to take care of the BG spawn. The LMB in the pond now are feed trained, after they spawn we'll catch and transfer to mine, and my non-feed trained LMB will replacing them. The HSB are a blast to catch. I caught 2 and lost 2 more.

Hopefully the pellet hooked GC will learn their lesson and not feed on pellets, but start targeting some of the plants. He'll have to do something about the algae in his pond, the Chara and FA are starting to grow pretty quick. Cattails too.

Some of the BG that are swimming around are VERY thick.
