Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Hybrid Stripers vs. White Crappie

General rule of thumb I have seen on FHM and stocking after the pond is growing forage via BG is that the FHM aren't really needed. While it doesn't hurt the pond the return on them with additional forage via spawns is very limited so the fish you put in are basically just a snack for the existing residents of the pond.

There was a post about where the crappie go after hatching and I think that it mentioned they move out into the pond not on the edges. This would seemingly put them in the same zone as the HSB. I don't have any experience with this though. I would definitely defer to one of the more experience fellas here for sure.
