Spring will soon be here but it seems it already is on some days in this crazy weather we are having. I walked the pond shore yesterday and found a dead 6 inch GSH that was 2 inches when they were stocked last spring. The FHM that were also stocked last spring are about 2 inches long now. So it seems you get a lot more protein in a year from a GSH then a FHM. So does FHM have any advantage over GSH except maybe cost?

The minnows were not fed but my natural pond does have lots of food in it.
