Bill and Sprkplug, thanks for the education. Guess I need to get some predators into my BOW. Do you think HSB alone can control the HBG overpopulation? I truely think a 1/3 acre pond is too small for LMB.
Agreed. Good post. It's apparent, I should have known a lot more about HBG before I put any in the pond. Part of the reason I am very reluctant, at this point, to add anything else.
I think I'll just continue to harvest every HBG I come across. The original stockers have grown very well, are big and heavy. I've become much more proficient at cleaning them, and they taste very good. (And if nothing else is biting, the HBG will be.)
If I end up with a million of them, that never get to be half the size of these original stockers, I have no one to blame but myself.
