I have a beautiful 1 acre pond in southern Michigan. When I bought the house three years ago I started feeding the fish and all thazt would come up are "stunted bluegill" by the hundreds. This last spring I threw in 100 LMB and 100 striper hybrid bass and 300 hybrid bluegills and 150 channel cats. I am now feeding them Purina fish chow. They seem to be growing excellently. I did not however throw in any minnows. I was thinking the existing bluegill population would provide excellent forage base however after reading mor about stocking the pond on the internet I am having second thoughts about not putting minnows in.

Is it to late? Would I hust be tossing in expensive bass food or is there a chance I could still augment my forage base successfully. The bluegill numbers appear to be going down. \:\)
