My GSH have done exceptionally well, and I have little or no vegetation. I do have several sunken pallets, and cedar trees. The pallets were for the FHM, but they�ve disappeared. However, my pond is a SMB, YP, RES, primarily pond. I think my GSH have been able to reach a size where the SMB can�t eat them. My concern now is that they are so numerous that they are impacting YP production. We stocked HSB three years ago, which we thought would help, but we�ve never actually seen one.
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs) I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023.
