Goals are feasable. GSF as a standard, reliable, forage fish is managing in fairly unknown territory. Not a lot is known about best habitat for GSF. My experiences are they do not grow to 8" very fast. But with optimum conditions individuals to this size are likely in 4 yrs. Anyone with help for growth rates for GSF? HBG may be a better choice instead of GSF? With a healthy populations of SMB & HSB, food for WE could become limiting and result in slowed growth. Plan on a healthy population of crayfish.

Plan on freezing some of the catch for periods when fish are not co-operating in the harvest. Regarding the harvest of 2-4 lbs of fish/week -is that live fish or cleaned (fillets)?
