I have the actual numbers now. My memory is leaving me so I should quit guessing.
The pond pre drought was .70 Acre, 11' deep, average depth 7 to 8 ', Now about 1/2 Acre and 8' ave depth,
FHM 10 lbs, 5 lbs GS stocked Late October
The following were stocked the first of May,
6 GC, 1 to 9" long,
75 LMB 3-4"
24 HSB 3-4"
24 CC 3-5"
200 RES 2-4"
50 BG 2-4"
13 lbs FHM,
8 LBS GS
4lbs Rosey REd Minnows
200 Bull Frog Tad poles.
Now with this new information, would every one steer away from 50 YP in November? Could YP be considered forage? I did not consider CC as predators, another Rookie mistake.
What about crappie after two years of LBM growth?
I started feeding 23 June. The CC and GC are now eating. The BG are starting to eat. I have never seen the RES take food yet. I treated 1/3 of the podn with cutrine + after FA took over. The pond cleared up to a little over 3' visability at which time I could watch the teams of 8 to 10" LMB sitting in the shallows just out side the weeds and old christmas trees and striking the FHM at will.I have a bubbler and 3 small fountains.
What's should I do next.
PS the kids swim in the pond every other day.
Thanks,
Ron
