Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Which fish to save

Theoretically, stocking some male only LMB would introduce predators with the perfect gape to focus upon 3-5" BG and GSF and help keep populations managed...they will top out at 2-3# and larger BG should be safe. However, your YP will take a hit and if supplementally stocking WE you'd want to select the largest fish possible to avoid predation from the LMB. I've considered employing this male LMB method over the years but eventually got my BG population managed through other avenues.
