I would think there could be advantages to letting your forage base grow for 2 years even if they don't create more pure numbers. For instance, if you want golden shiners, they are a year larger and you have a better chance at having large enough individuals to survive predation from rapidly growing bass.
If I were considering developing a trophy bass fishery, and were in no rush at all, I might consider gsh, lcs, and crayfish in year one, and then adding the fathers in year two. When do you guys think would be the best time to add the red ear for snail control and the bluegill?
