I’m finally getting ready to stock some fish now. It’s a .4 acre pond, had fhm and emerald shiners added this winter. I do not see any swimming around anywhere so I’m not sure if they survived? I know when the guy dropped them off he did not temper them to the water temp. I can’t complain to much as they were free but have no idea if any made it. I do not have a minnow trap to try and catch any. I was thinking about getting some perch this weekend either from laggis or Ron chrismon- would it be good idea to get some from each or would it not matter? I have not spoken with Ron yet to see what he has available and do not personally know him- just got his name on here. I have heard good things about laggis perch. Also Stoney creek has RES to stock. I spoke to them and they are fish from the south so I don’t know how well they will over winter here in MI but I’m willing to give it a shot. So I’m thinking of getting 100perch and 50 res here soon. I’ll prob put another gallon of fatheads in as well. This fall I’ll look into adding some smb and maybe a couple wae. I do plan to hand feed this summer if I can get the perch/res to take pellets
