The fish farm has their own feed pellets they use (and of course recommend). It is 40% protien/11% fat. It is also $35/50 lbs. So how do you ever get your fish over to a brand that they were not raised on ? Do I just finish out the year on their food and then switch to gamechow after winter warm up ?

I take it that it is acceptable to stock the 75 1-3" F1 LMB even though the CNBG will not have yet spawned by spring 08 ?

Would the 3-5" CNBG spawn any earlier, especially if fed ?

I would like to have some sort of fun catch and release fish for the kids by summer 08. They are not picky, just something to stretch the line.


Thanks,

Darryl
