Thanks for the info Greg. We were planning on putting some hydrated lime in our renovated pond to kill the existing fish due to the application and costs of rotenone, but I don't want to throw 50 bags (500 lbs) of hydrated lime in our 4 acft pond and have it not work.
I may just end up stocking it with the BG and LMB and hope the little trash fish that are currently in there (not sure if they are BG,RESF, GSF, or HBG, but they are only about 2" max) get taken out over time.
Continued thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
