Thank you all. ewest, I had to go through that info twice, just to scratch the surface. I'll continue to catch as many HBG as I can, but I've been seeing a lot lately in the 1-2" range. I also have RES, so I could be getting addl crossing there, or, the 1-2" fry I'm seeing might be RES, and not HBG. If I ever get to the point that I'm not catching them as soon as the hook hits the water, or they really leave swimmers alone, I'll report it here.
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs) I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023.
