okay I see that adding RES isnt going to be as easy as I thought I think im gonna try all suggestions given first adding as many adults as I can come up with then either use a blocking net and or cages to grow them out but Id like to just release some freely also, so to do so and prevent predation from LMB Im thinking after LMB post spawn when bass are feeding a little less would be better. when do you think the best time of year to stock and also release the RES that I may put behind blocking nets would be? There would also be some loss behind the nets from herons and kingfishers... any good prevention methods for that? How deep do you set cages?
