I stocked 200 channels cats in my pond in March 4-6 inches in length. I have lost about 1 dozen total including the one that a tree fell on when I was removing trees from the south side of the pond over the weekend. They are around 10 inches long and eat vigerously when I feed them in the evening. I also lost two bluegill out of about 50 that I transferred from my neighbors pond but have had a good spring spawn and have hundreds of them now and lots of fathead minnow babies. Bob
