I'd feed right away. Keep doing it until the water temps fall below 46 degrees, according to pond guru Bob Lusk.


Agreed. Feed as long as the fish are eating.

Optimal Jr. is formulated for smaller fish, once they get to 4"-5" or so, try feeding the regular Optimal Bluegill food. If they switch to eating it, that tells you what they want. wink grin
