Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations RESxGSF hybrid

I hate to say it JW, but if you're wanting them gone completely, about the only option you've got is to kill everything in the pond and start over, but that's not necessarily a 100% guarantee you'll never get GSF in your pond again. They have a reputation for "just showing up".

That being said, GSF will readily go into a trap baited with cheap dog food, and you can reduce their numbers significantly that way. It wont eliminate them, but it will knock them back some.

If you plan on restocking HBG, I think the probabilities of having them again are pretty high, tho, being that half of that cross is GSF.

As has been said... when you get lemons, make lemonade. GSF are aggressive and feisty critters. Eager to bite, and a hoot to catch on light tackle. They dont eat too bad either!!
