Bocomo,

I haven't put any BG in yet. I've just started stocking with FHM and Shiners. I am doing nothing else until spring. Was just looking for some ideas. If SMB don't do well with BG I don't need to put BG in.

I guess I should find out which is better for my area LMB or SMB then choose what supplement I need to stock for a healthy pond.

My winters would be similar to Northern New York. I am in Kingston which is right on the US boarder.

So my next question is, how the heck do I do Single Sexed LMB? buy them like that? catch them and sex them before adding them?

Canyon Creek,

I plan on aerating the shallow area of my pond with some bubble hose and block off that area from skaters. I too intend to play hockey on my pond.
