Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Too many 10" LMB, among other problems.

With the Tigers being so skinny, a 16" LMB would eat them no problem, and even smaller LMB would probably grab them just because they don't have a lot of food in there.

If you really want to stock Tigers, you should be able to find them 18" long in the fall.

If the Tigers are hungry, they will eat whatever swims past them first.

As long as the river doesn't actually flow into or have an overflow from the pond that the fish could jump or swim up, you shouldn't get more carp into the lake. Yes, it will take some work to get their numbers down.
