Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking What to do?

Sorry not sure I understand. You are now trying to establish BG - why would you want to stock them? I don't understand your goals apparently. I thought you wanted a SMB/YP fishery and if you do you'll need to manage the LMB and BG population very aggressively. Now you are talking about stocking BG, so I'm somewhat confused. Want to help, but apparently need some help myself first.

If you eliminate spawning/recruitment, it is theoretically possible to extirpate any fish species in a pond. Whether you can do that with LMB or not is the question. Typically BG and LMB are permanent residents of a fishery once introduced, which is what I've been trying to convey through my posts. Only way to eliminate BG or LMB is through starting over.
