Ok Guys, here is a question about stocking SMB in with LMB.
My Jumpers lmb will be going in as fingerlings in June. Environment will be a fairly heavy stocked forage. I hope to see the same growth of my LMB as George 1 had/has, with his 2 lb lmb. By Fall/2015 I hope to see some 14" LMB. If a fishing trip in Oct for SMB and the same size SMB to existing LMB were to somehow be transported back to the pond, lets say 10 smb, I would think they might take hold because the smb would be a young smb and might adjust to the pond. Would they lose wt, would they adjust, and if 10 fish, would 5 be female? Would the smb help to control the over population of the lmb fry the following spawn? What u thinking?
