update on the pond. I have put in 12 lbs of FHM. I started with 7 but added 5 more today after getting more larger sized YP and HBG than planned. also added 4 lbs of GSH , some up to 5". other fish added today were three sizes of HBG, 200 2-4", 35 4-6" and 25 6-8". also got 20 replacement RES 2-3". hand sorted everything and took out two catfish in with the FHM and a few weird shaped HBG. the last few pics will be of the HBG that appeared different to me. but i don't have a trained eye for them. i was mainly looking for the yellowing of the fins and green sunfish markings on the jaw/gill plate area. do you guys think they are all HBG?
Last week I added 20 4-6" YP and 50 6-8" YP, few of them being 10". and also 75 2-3" RES. I will get 150 2-4" YP and 25 more 4-6" YP and 8 HSB of two sizes next week hopefully. I finally got the YP to come up to take the feed last night. It took a week but just in time to hopefully have the HBG follow them to the trough. Still no sign of the papershell craysfish I added except for one I seen along the shallows under a minnow structure. tried minnow trapping some last night and nothing. sure they are ok but would be nice to catch one and see if its carrying eggs.
