Hi all
Also this year I made some catch in my pond, in the same period of last year, recording length and weight of each LMB caught.
I then reported all the data collected in the scheme that ewest sent me last year (very useful, I love it!).
The "scardole" (rudd?) stocking in spring 2019 has paid off and the LMB culling process combined with the addition of brushpiles last year have allowed the survival of some of the new born that I saw swimming a few days ago and which are now about 4 ".
I have noticed some changes in the evolution of the LMB population, but I am a beginner and I may be wrong so I would like to know your considerations regarding the comparison between the two years.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
I attach the link with the photos of the LMBs and the images of the schemes of the two years.

PS I've already started culling all under 12" and low RW between 12" and 14".
