Leo,
Could one safely assume 20-40 fish to stock per acre? They die off every winter here in NC. So I would restock each year.
Sorry guys. Notification was a bit late. Per acre, safest margin would be 20 to 25 (1 to 1.5lbs). 30 is considered as a the marginal limit. Any more than 30, well, you might be asking for trouble.
