It is the NY DEC suggesting the FHM stocking. They are also the one's limiting my stocking to just FHM, SMB, or LMB. My hands are tied on this one by the state.

I agree that it is a waste of money to keep stocking FHM. I will have to do more thinking on this one. Maybe a redo on the fish population starting with FHM might be the course to follow. Just sad for the 24" SMB in the pond (I have only caught 2 this size).

Any other non-fish stocking suggestions to help feed the hungry SMB?
