Great Topic!
I am very "green" to the HSB / YP combination.
Thanks to some advice from Bruce C, Dave W and Bill C, I am attempting to establish a HSB and Y Perch fishery.
I share some of the same concerns mentioned by Dave and Bill. Will too much aquatic cover enable the perch and their young to elude the HSB and overpopulate; especially if there is supplemental feed?
Can a slot limit on perch (fishing through the ice with several anglers), say 7 - 10 inches help to effectively reduce perch numbers? Will remaining larger perch (> 11 inches) effectively evade the mouths of HSB and help control their own young?
Too many questions and not many answers......yet!
