I may restock some HSB. I�m convinced that I had zero survivors from my stocking 25 of them back in Oct of 2015. No response to thrown feed. None ever caught, or sighted. They sure look like they�d be a blast to catch.
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.
