I have too agree with Cecil your chance greatly increases with age, muck build up, vegetation, fish density, water quality, weather conditions before cover, weather/snow during ice cover, weather after ice off.. Basically variables that will never be the same as this year.. your experience/experiment is a perfect conclusion for this year and this year only..


I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..

I just don't see what was proven here? I'm glad that you apparently didn't suffer a winterkill event, but do you have any idea how close you did, or did not come? You stated that you cleaned 30% of the snow off a couple of times.....did that make the difference that saved your fish? Your pond is lined, while the vast majority of ponds are not...did that make a difference?

You also touched on population dynamics. A great many pond owners, especially new pond owners, may not have a feel for what their ponds are like in this regard. Trying to use one northern pond's parameters as the model for what is "survivable" in a generic sense is highly questionable at best, and downright dangerous at worst.

There are simply too many variables in play, many unseen and unaware of, to arrive at such a conclusion.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
