This fall, I want to add 25 smallmouth bass, 100 yellow perch and maybe half a dozen hybrid stripers. Depending on how well the SMB do, I may or may not convert to LMB later on.
I'm seeing fish in the shallows that look an awful lot like small bluegill. I'll net one this weekend and make sure. If they are BG, they must have come down from a shallow pond that lies upstream. I netted and fished the pond last fall but didn't catch anything except tadpoles, insect larvae and newts, so I was hoping it had no fish in it whatsoever. It gets a thick layer of green scum every summer.
If my pond has bluegill, I'd sure like to add some Condello genes to the mix. Want to sell me any?
