Three years ago I bought a farm with a 9 acre pond. I've been overseas and haven't had many opportunities to fish it. However, prior to this year I've caught several LMB in the 4-6 lb range, a few CC, BG, and a few big crappie (14-15 inch). Last fall I put 250 HBG, 250 WE, and 50 SMB in the pond. I was back in the US for the first 2 weeks of June and went fishing about 8 times. During that time I caught 15 of the WE. They were about 6-7 inches long last fall and they averaged 9-11 inches in June. I didn't catch any SMB, maybe they are still too small (they were 3-4 inches last fall), or maybe most of them were eaten by the LMB. I'll be back in September and whether pemitting I'll try again and let you know if I catch any walleye and their size. I hope that they are able survive and thrive. I'd be interested to hear how others make out with walleye in ponds with established LMB populations.
