Thank you both for the hatchery suggestions. Looks like all three will have a truck in the area mid to late June.
Any concerns with fish riding in the truck all day in June?
Cat,
I am not opposed to a fat BG on the line. A fly rod and a bg brings back good memories.
Were you suggesting cats along with bg and lmb, or saying a combo of the bg and Channel cats would create opportunity for good growth rates on both species?
I took my daughter to a neighbors pond last weekend. He stocked channel cats, lmb. And bg 2 1/2 yrs ago. The cats were more than a 4 yr old would want to fight and broke us off a few times. I was surprised at how big they were already. I had to use a small spinner to get the bg as the cats would pounce on a worm.
I was thinking 300 bg, 100 red ear, FHM, and then 40 lmb next spring. I see many hatcheries are selling FHM by the pound. Is there a point when extra FHM becomes pointless?
