Jusf out of curiosity due you get a good survival rate on your perch spawn due to catfish population or are they bullheads. If you go up to beaverkill to get trout stock the rainbows get them in 6"9" range give a chance against old bucket jaws. Stock approx30 per acre .
I was at a pond in Liberty the customer had 300 trout stocked in a 2 month old pond 1 week ago and has lost 150 of them the P.H.was4.5 and Alkalinity 9 ppm. The man who stocked the fish put on the bill not responsible after fish enter the water. I would personally be ashamed to do this to a customer.
I asked the customer what is the present food chain or pellets. He was informed by the stocker that there was plenty of food in the pond for their survival. Hell there was not even grass growing on the deck and only 2"of visability[suspended clay] The pond was approx. 3/4 acre 6 foot deep and piles of dirt and tree piles.
He paid $16,400.00 for this useless hole in the ground to put trout to their final resting place and not on a dinner plate.
