Water clarity has been poor since the cattle had access last summer. I'm working on that now.


At time of stocking

June 20th 2016
LMB 2-3" qty. 100
w/ 5# FHM

May 16th 2016
CNBG 2-3" qty. 1000
CNBG 3-5" qty. 125
RES 2-3" qty. 375
w/ 15# FHM

I understand that stocking was close together, but Todd Overton thought it was worth doing. My forage was doing excellent by the time I stocked the bass. Water clarity was great, algae bloom from fertilizing look great. As best I could tell some spawning occurred about a week before I added the bass.

[edited to clarify stocking dates]


I'm thinking you meant 2015 on the stocking dates, not 2016? If that is the case then the biggest fish in the pond when you stocked the fingerling LMBs were 5 inch max CNBG. Correct?
