BarO, I envy your water well to insure against the severe drought we are undergoing, however pleasantly surprised at the good condition of our fish. We don�t have an adequate aquifer in our area.
If you stocked CNBG from Tyler Fish Farms, they are Florida genetics.
We originally stocked CNBG from same source, but made a bad pre-PB mistake and stocked a few adult LMB.
Bob Lusk recommended supplemental stocking of 7 large adult CNBG for each LMB.
The only CNBG available that were large enough were Arkansas genetics, so we have a Fla/Ark mix, which have resulted in some mojo CNBG. Some of our PB forum experts see a predominate Arkansas strain.
We stocked 15 large adult female Florida strain CNBG from Overton Fisheries in early October and hope we got a spawn. Maybe a genetic boost of FCNBG will make the 12-inch mark � breaking the 11-inch barrier ain�t bad tho, as you well know...
The CNBG and HSB are still feeding like crazy, but this cold front may slow them down.
Have you considered HSB?
They are a blast on the fly�..
Thanks for your fly-fishing info � I cheat and use a pellet fly � all�s fair in love, war, and fishing.
Congrats on your pond!
Life is good
N.E. Texas
