Bill Cody,

I'm pretty sure YP and Pickerel is where I am headed. So far my ph, it has rose from 4.5 to maybe 4.75 after one ton of lime. Many people around here hate pickerel, by I think they are so neat, like baby muskellunge.

I've been making a plan to catch/gather some local YP or buy a batch from the local hatchery. (White perch are plentiful around here too and acid tolerant. But they aren't as pretty as YP.)

I think the goal is to raise one big predator of a few different species. Pretty much raising pet predator fishes, but I wont be hand feeding the pickerel!

I'll likely start with the one pickerel, then work towards more ph neautrel fish like a bass. I read that rock bass can handle the acid too.

I'm dreaming that after my vegetation fills in, that maybe the ph will be less radical and I can have a pet hybrid striped bass!
