Tracy, my head's spinning. Your forage numbers should really set your pond up well. Congrats.

And I agree, Todd is a stand up guy who really knows his fish. I've told him several times I'm glad he's 3 hours away, or I'd be broke.

Al, when u and I met @ PBC we discussed the catchability of lmb when the forage numbers are high. So I am guessing we will find out smile

Keep your fly rod close

Yep, I'm still not sure what the magic ratio is for forage/LMB when catchability is a issue, but you having the 3 feeders can certainly be used as tools to both feed the CNBG, and make the CBLMB more approachable. My largest LMB feed at the feeders. The CNBG eat the pellets, and the LMB eat the CNBG. It's the circle of life.

Al, if Todd thinks there is a possibility here of 10 lb CBLMB in 3 yrs?? Whoa A big lmb when I was growing up was 6 lbs.

Yeah, as a kid I remember thinking anything over 4 or 5 lbs was a big fish, and really it is. But the march of science in terms of feeding, fertilization, stocking, and genetics has changed things for the better!

Excellent info! Thanks for all of this information. I love this forum.


A bad day fishing is better than the best day at work!
