We have both RES and golden shiners in our 1 ac pond. Both have done exceedingly well. We catch more RES than anything else. Unfortunately most are too small to keep. We have large schools of golden shiners roaming the banks. I do have several submerged cedars in the pond. Right now,I’m pretty low on predator fish. Just YP for the most part, but hopefully a few SMB and HSB are still out there.
I’ve often wondered if we didn’t have too many golden shiners, and maybe the larger ones were eating up all the YP fry. I keep restocking YP in hopes of getting a larger population of keeper YP. They are our favorite fish for the dinner plate.
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.
