I’ve got a lot of 2” -10”BG, not sure how many 3”-5” LMB survived the original stocking of 200 after fish kill. There are mosquito fish already there and GS and FHM on the way. The LMB I have access to from work are all size classes and I can choose which ones i bring home based on relative weights up to about 3 lbs( I wouldn’t take anything larger than 3 lbs ). I was thinking about bringing in F1s to my pond to be able to diversify genetics and take some back to my work ponds to do the same. Any thoughts on that plan?
These are not the stunted LMB, those were taken out of the ponds completely in the past few years and we only keep LMB with relative weights over 100 for any size class.
