Black Creek - As often the people on fish wagons are not very knowledgeable or not real truthful about good information about some fish species including those they are selling. HSB will survive and grow very well in small ponds 0.2 ac and larger. All they need is adequate food either as pellets and/or small fish. Definitely not just for large lakes. The fish wagon was likely selling crappie which the statement of "for large lakes" is more appropriate for crappie than HSB. Although when managed correctly crappie especially hybrid crappie can thrive in ponds. Numerous members here have proven and disproved it.
