Bill, thanks for the detailed reply. Yes I will be stocking mostly mature LMB next spring because of the establish fish population. As far as the small yellow perch I caught approx 20 mature LMB and added this year over the last few months to help reduce the number of small perch before next year. I'm hoping this reduction will reduce their food pressure and start to get larger but fewer yellow perch. As far as walleye I'm hoping I can get 3-5" fingerling to help avoid them being eaten by the bass until a little larger. I am assuming they will grow approx 1/4" a week like the bluegill fingerling. This pond management is very addictive isn't it as you try to make your dream(s) come true...... Thanks
