I agree 100% that I need to add more structure. I know there are a lot of FHM in the pond but it is hard to tell if I have had a lot of reproduction because my water has a lot of suspended clay. Within the next week or two we are planning to do an Alum/hydrated lime treatment and as soon as everything is stabilized try and get fish in the pond.
On the topic of forage and YOY available for the predators, do you think I should consider some non-hybrid bluegill as well? I was concerned that the HSB might not be able to keep them in check and I wasn't planning to add LMB. Also, should I consider GSH? I have read where they can get larger and I didn't want to end up with a bunch of biomass in un-eatable shiners.
This is my first time doing any of this stuff so I'll take as many 2 cents as you have to offer. Thanks.
