Bill C - excellent elucidation.

I'm smiling as I (a greenie PBer) read your tactful observations about sexing accuracy, biomass, and laws of nature.

BTW for me, 20 LMB at even three pounds would be terrific. I'm mostly just curious about what was limiting growth. I may not even get them to three pounds, given that there also are/were about 70 trout. Although I don't know how many of my fish survive predation.

One last note. The feed I'm providing is silver cup high-protein Trout feed. The latest generation of which even provides the supplements by which the trout flesh is rosy colored like in wild populations. Don't know how that compares to Aquamax pellets.

My expectations are now more modest. I also understand the interest in record-keeping and reporting back results.

Thanks very much again.
