Thanks guys! It was just sounding like forage ponds don't help that much.
I figured I already had the sediment pond, why not put some FHM in and help keep them in the main pond. I figured they would help the yoy other fish in the pond.
I do hand feed some pellets as well.
Jpsdad, my goals are just to have a fun place to fish, not worried about trophies. I know having more types of fish makes it harder but I like variety. I have LMB, BG, RES, YP, FHM, GSH in it now and want to maybe add a few HSB, maybe some CC and maybe some Hybrid Crappie.
I think everything is doing good right now. The few LMB I see look healthy and if I have any skinny ones it is on them,I see plenty for them to eat.
My area drains to the. Mississippi.
