Numerous members and non-members have done this stocking. With the proper conditions it works very good. Best conditons are new pond, lots of soft rayed forage, proper combination of fish species, proper stocking densities, good timing of the stockings, bottom aeration, decent water visibility 3-4ft. Forage fish species and diversity are important factors that determines the success. Both WE and YP are predators the thrive on AMPLE small fish. WE and YP do not do real well, maybe okay (?), but not well with LMB and BG. Does the pond have any existing fish in it??
