Thanks again......................Budster

Based on my experience, if acclimated on natural forage for longer period of time, they will prefer natural forage .
The first 100, 4-6 inch HSB stocked in new 1/4 acre pond full of FHM, never got feed trained.

IMO, I believe if you stock this year 4-6 inch HSB spawn early enough, your chances will improve over 8-10 inch HSB that have been on pellets for a longer period of time.
