If both LMB and BG are stocked at the same time as fingerlings, to get the LMB to grow quick, the stocking ratio is between 20 and 50 BG per LMB.

Now since the LMB are larger, you have to stock BG that are at least 1/3 the length of the largest LMB in the pond, and I would still stock at least 15-20 per LMB.

Fatheads are there to get the LMB growing fast, and it is common to have them all eaten after the first year the LMB are in the pond. How big are the LMB now?
