Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Evaluating New Pond and New Fish

Yeah. We were out this afternoon. Caught one LMB and called it good for the year. Hopefully those fish forget all about the white spinner over the winter and into next spring. Fish I caught today looked healthy but not near the chunk as the one yesterday.

LMB 10.20.2024 10-1/4" at .63lbs 120% RW 141 Days from stocking



Interesting that the fish the last five fish have been right at the 10" mark from Sept - Oct. Will be very interesting to see what the change is next spring and what winter growth rates will look like.

Did throw a little Optimal BG while on site to see what the response was like around 3PM today. FHM/GSH were the first to arrive and them followed up by some BG and TP shortly after. TP activity is markedly lower throughout the pond. Likely going to mix in the first bag of winter food in the feeder tomorrow as the water temps are running in the lower 60's. We have moved down to two feedings a day with afternoon and early evening.
