pond in iowa is low presence for me, but i have family and fiends who frequent the place at least 1 if not 2 weekends a month. so fish will be caught and removed on a regular basis. thought about catch and release only for the first two years.
i really want a diverse number of species to fish for that is why i'm adding smb, we ,hsb and res to the already existing stocking
figured the walleye's wont breed, nor the hsb.
not sure about smallmouth
forage includes crawdads, fathead minnows and tons of frog and tadpoles, along with all the other insects that live in iowa that will become dinner
for my fish, not sure if I can obtaingolden shiners in the midwest.will research the yp option though.
thanks for the input. i lokk forward to many years of great posts to come.
i'll work on getting my pics posted
thanks again
