RC, regarding the non-feed trained HSB. Do you have any idea how they were spawned and how they were grown as fingerlings? How do you know they aren't pellet trained? (just curious, that's all)
Hey Esshup
I only know this by what Keo's fish farm told me. They have ponds and tanks that have both feed trained and non feed trained HSB. But I think the non ones have taking to eating pellets.
Like Bill Cody said once I have some teacher fish that I think the non HSB were watching and took hold of what they were doing. This spring if all goes well this winter my HSB should be pushing 18 inches now.
The other thing is I haven't caught an HSB on a live bait for over a year or so now. Not that they wouldn't take it but I haven't got any bites yet except on fish food.
