Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization fish not eating feed

Ah...things are making a bit more sense. Fat, healthy bass means they have plenty of food. So, we can assume the number of bass in your pond have adequate food...for now. But, if you aren't seeing many bluegill come to feed, and you never have, yields the idea you may be temporarily okay. With that thought, the key word is temporary. You will do no harm adding adult bluegill...probably will keep your food chain from collapsing at some point. Stock 300 adult bluegill, large enough to escape your dominant size bass.
And, yes, you need cover. If you add "dense" cover, bluegill will flock to it. Put it in water no deeper than six feet. Cedar trees, brush..piles measuring three or four feet high and six feet square work well.
Keep feeding, when water temps stay above 55 degrees.
