I stocked 5 lbs in April my first spring at the 3.5 acre E Texas pond. I had no predators. I stocked fingerling lmb June 1st. The Tp spawned and spawned like crazy, and grew to a couple of pounds. I had Tp everywhere in the pond. They became feeder hogs where as many as 50 to 100 were at each feeder. They were easy to catch on rod and reel or on the fly. I will say the lmb fingerlings that survived were all way above they rw line. My second stocking was at 10 lbs per acre and I never saw a single fish after that stocking. suspect the lmb fed well on the Tp and their fry. I will do 20 lbs per acre this year.
