Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations LMB Growth??

If you have an existing population of LMB in the pond, the FHM that you stock will only be a short term snack for the fish. They will not establish a reproducing population in the pond (for any significant length of time).

FHM are used in the beginning stages of a pond to produce a large forage crop for the newly introduced fingerling LMB to gorge on. Once the LMB are 10"-12" or so, the population of FHM is usually all consumed and the LMB start concentrating on small BG.
