Anytime the stocking numbers are small, expect the fish to wise up pretty quickly when subjected to catch and release. And my experience with HBG has shown me that they are no different in this regard....a good kid's fish, yes, with the understanding that they can only be caught and returned to the water so many times before they figure things out.

I think the CC might be able to control recruitment of a very limited number of HBG, but I believe in taking no chances....I might add a few HSB as insurance. Maybe a male LMB or three.

My only knowledge of Texas is what I read on here. And the thing that sticks with me the most, is how dry things can become. I would try and keep that in mind when adding biomass.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
