Good work Ponddragon. Before this latest post, I had adjusted the adult biomass to 150 lbs/acre. Not a big change. I concur with your thoughts on relative abundance. Will be interesting to watch your progress on goals.

Are you marking LMB? Any recaps there? I think those that are there could contribute a lot next year especially if they have grown by the time YOY are reaching 1"-2". There is potential to grow the LMB over winter by adding FHM in sufficient quantities. To reduce competition with the adult panfish, you may want to do some earnest culling before supplementing FHM. Especially get as many GSF as possible out. They are big enough and have gapes large enough to seriously compete with the LMB for minnows.
