My Pond was re-constructed after drying out last summer in the drought. It is doing well, full and "happy". In early March I stocked 200 1-3" CNBG, 100 3-6" CNBG, 100 3-6" RSF, and 5 #'s of FHM, and I have been feeding lightly since April. The Pond is only 1/2 acre, and while I know I need to add some predators at some point, I am reluctant to use LMB as my Goal is to raise good size eating CNBG's, not LMB. It seems to me that the HSB would be a good choice for this purpose as they will not propagate, but the question I have is how many to stock? Adding enough to control CNBG population without wiping them out. I guess I'm not sure as to when to add the predators also, this fall or early next spring? If anyone can help with your thoughts and ideas I would appreciate it, Thanks......................Budster
