This will be a good learning experience for us about use of NP in small intensively managed ponds. Thanks for sharing it with us. Nate's experience and comments about use of NP make sense. I am interested in how the NP affect the YP population dynamics primarily as far as numbers and size structure. YP are fusiform and BCP-BG are rounder bodied. It will be interesting to see if the NP 'hammer' the YP more than the other panfish - BG, BCP, BH. Please try to keep some catch records of the sizes of panfish and numbers that you catch per hour of angling. Compare before or early NP introduction and after several years post introduction. Inquiring minds want to know.
