Bill C and Others:

Is it worth while to try to feed train some native 4-7" yellow perch from my lake for growout into the fall for eating purposes. Would there be enough % to take too pellets for rapid growth during the next 6 months? I can easily catch 100-200 perch or more and put them into a cage within my lake off the dock to feed and monitor. I will be building the 4 x 4 x 4' and 8 x 4 x 4 cages in a week or two as I have all the PVC piping but need to get the 3 ways and 1/2" plastic mesh netting first. Should these perch be put into high densities to force them to eat or low densities per sq ft for greater success on converting them over the 6 month time frame? Thanks
