What to do next.
Have a 1-� ac 5.5�-11� pond that was dug in the fall of �05. Spring of 06 was half full and was stocked with 4000 fathead minnows, 70 YP yearlings, 50 LMB fingerlings and that fall 500 crayfish. Unfortunately I listened to the supplier, this was BPB- before Pond Boss, and stocked the predators along with the prey. I was considering adding some shiners, possible more minnows- I don�t see a lot in there now, some CC along with a feeder, and possible more YP and LMB.
Was going to use the pond for 1) science project, 2) fresh food occasionally, 3) fishing hole.I can see the LMB patrolling the shore but don�t see any of the YP. Was thinking of trying to set up a blocking net so the bass don�t eat everything I restock with. I enjoy reading PB and purchased one of the Hach water test kits over the winter. Any comments or suggestions on stocking ratios and sizes would be appreciated
