CMM, I have been seeing lots of 1-3 inch fish. I'm assuming these are small GSF. If I do stock CC, I am not sure how many I will stock. So I'm not sure how quickly they will reduce the numbers of GSF. I have begun feeding in the evenings and may buy a feeder. I am unable to get over there and feed by hand daily. In the short time that I have been feeding, the Common Carp eat the majority of the food. I am not seeing any GSF that are large enough to eat the pellets yet. Maybe they will come later. You are correct, I do plan on building a pond in the next couple of years(I need to do my homework here at the Pond Boss forum first. Maybe I should just manage the pond for gsf. Any suggestions on how to do that? Also with the common carp, I have only been seeing three of them. Maybe they are not reproducing. Should I try to get rid of the common carp? I was thinking about breaking out my bowfishing rig. Thanks
