Bill and others-
Thanks for the replies, I think I asked this just in time to try and make my stocking strategy work.
Bill I would like to discuss some of your recommendations directly.
The sunfish are worse than I thought. I scoped out the pond and saw around 10 spawning beds as well as a group of 10-12 sunfish hanging around one of my pallet structures.
Are you sure that some of those little "everywhere" fatheads are not gshiners and or small 1/2" sunfish? They very well could be Gshiners or sunfish, I'll see if I can find out.
Reading your stocking suggestions and basing this strategy on the fact the sunfish are already spawning. Does 150 fingerling perch and 100 fingerling smb sound right? I may can my stocking strategy from the lake given the current situation. The time that I would be spending on the lake I will use to thin the sunfish ranks.
do you have the # for Hicklings?
There is another hatchery near seneca falls. Any idea of the name and # there?
Thanks again, Chris
