I have been wondering the same thing Snrub... what mix to put in the forage pond. What about starting out with some crays, FHM, and GSH? Although if the crays have already spawned for the year would I be better off waiting till next year? Also, I kinda promised the boys something in there big enough to catch. Any thoughts out there on a possible stocking scenario? My current pond mix is FHM, GSH, HBCP, YP, RES. I will be stocking some HSB this fall and SMB next spring.
