My lmb survival of the fingerling stocking was really low, not sure why. The lmb count was low long before any cormorants, or Bald Eagles showed up. I went with a heavy stocking of cnbg and res and fhm's, maybe some of them feed on the lmb fingerlings, who knows? My cnbg count might be so high I may not get a spawn this coming spring, if that happens I might want to get some or your LSL lmb to help me get to my goals. Right now, I have a few lmb in the pond that seem to be in great shape but the count seems to be so low we have not caught one since last June.

Yeah, our BOW are close yet the situation is quite different. And who knows, maybe I'll have a small LMB spawn this coming spring and be very glad for every one of those 800 stocked.

Right now, though, seems like I may have too many. One small 4 inch one was caught, along with the 7 inch skinny guy.

Really do need more liming, more pond plants, maybe artificial cover.

If you want some extra bass, let me know.
