Just keep in mind HBG are great additional species for angling return especially from younger anglers, their limited reproduction helps provide forage for YP and SMB, and their predation on YOY YP and SMB help prevent population management issues with either species. Further, it's nice to have a species that will continue to be active even into the hottest months of the year, and will readily approach a fly if you enjoy fly fishing. If you don't like them you don't like them, just my effort to demonstrate the benefits on the fishery, especially a cool water limited gape fishery. I think you got sound advice on the stocking strategy for whatever it's worth.
