I stocked 90 RES in my bigger pond as adults last spring. They promptly disappeared and were feared dead until we ran a seine this spring and the little monsters showed up in the net--and they weren't that little! They ranged at stocking from 7-9 inches and they were 8-10.5 a year later. I finally caught my first one last week.
Same here � stocked 100, 3-4 inchers in 2004 in � acre pond, and didn�t know we had any survivors until a few weeks ago, when started fishing for HSB to transfer to main pond.
We�ve caught dozens of them...
Serendipity?
:rolleyes:
