Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Overwintered Walleye Fingerling

Rowly, I picked up my fingerlings from Tony in November 2002 @ 2-3" and $1.50 per. Survival in a pond with some larger LMB/SMB and stocked at the same time as 2" LMB was pretty good as far as I can tell. They did grow some over the winter and were all of 8-10" after the first spring/summer. (Now 14"+). I think it will depend alot on the density of LMB already existing in your pond and the current forage base. (I was very heavy on similar size minnows at the time of stocking the walleye)

At $1.50 per I would be willing to chance their survival... at worst add a little to the girth of your bass, but at $3.00 per I can't say that I would.
