It's odd that you have not caught any bluegill as of yet.

The Green Sunfish could also have come from the wet-weather-creek, but there's also a chance that they were mixed in with the bluegill stocking.

A 15" LMB can eat many 3-5" bluegill, so the larger the bluegill that you can get, the better chance of survival. If you can't source any larger bluegill, then maybe add 25-30% more in the actual number of bluegill to stock to factor in predation.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
