Russ, the initial stocking of cat and blue gill were of the small variety 2-3 inches. the first bass stocking 3 months later were also the small size. In the stocking the next year (2003) As recomended we used 3-4 inch B.G, 3-4 in. bass & 4-6 in. cat. so they would not be eaten by what may or may not be out there.
