If you haven't added fatheads yet, I would be adding them now (assuming you are very confident at identifying them) by the dozen from bait stores, and then 20-40 lbs of adults as soon as available to you.

I would maybe add a small amount of predator fish in the Fall '24, followed by another predator stocking of greater numbers in Spring '25.

I would label Yellow Perch as more of a predator fish early on in this example.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
