As far as forage, well that is where you need to step outside the box. Particularly if you do not stock the SMB. Look at BNM, SFS, LCS and BKF. All would be fantastic additions to your planned stocking. FHM can be stocked as well and GSH can be added about the same time the predators go in, but I wouldn't stock them early on with the other species. I would also stock grass shrimp. They will be an excellent forage for the YP, RES and smaller WE and HSB and SMB if stocked.
Thanks, Ill check the fish the abbrev. thread to be sure on the forage fish, can you please clarify the suggested timing? Are you saying to wait for all forage until time predators are stocked or just wait for the GSH?
P.s. would Jones Fish be the best source for fish and stocking ratios in my area or can find some per acre figures for above suggeted species here?
