Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction Stocking Existing Pond

Sparkplug, I've heard that is true for northern ponds, but I'll have more concrete evidence in a couple of years. The pond owner stocked the pond light in #s of BG, and is letting them spawn and multiply before adding LMB. The BG went in last Fall, at roughly 20% of the stocking rate. They are 4" now (this Spring), so maybe they will pull off a couple of spawns this year. The LMB will go in next Spring at 50% stocking rate, then the other 50% in the Fall, hoping to diverisify the genetics, and to get 2 year classes of LMB in the pond.
