I like the idea of WE, but I am plenty strong on the predator side the way it is. Guess I could split the numbers up between the HSB and the WE, guessing that I probably would have low WE spawns if any. My plans were to adjust HSB numbers to control the YP numbers if me and the SMB fall behind.
HSB and YP enjoy very different areas in a BOW. I doubt HSB will contribute noticeably in YP control, especially if feeding pellets. SMB and WE share the same areas the YP prefer. WE eggs need running, cool water to spawn. Highly unlikely any WE spawn will ever happen. WE in most warmer climate ponds don't get overly large, are fun to catch, great table fare, and can be replaced when needed.
