I am bumping this up, as it is now fall stocking season, and I am ready to plop in some more fish, possibly for a full stocking.
Here's where I am at:
- 1.5 acre pond, 15 months old, clay bottom. Filled by rainwater/runoff only.
- 20lbs of FH in Spring, 20lbs of FH in June - They seem to be spawning very well.
- 100 x 4-6" YP were put in around April/May.
- 55 x 4-5" RES were put in during late June.
- All appropriate structure will be complete within a few weeks.
- I can feed fish food, and I am willing to restock FH a couple times per year if needed.
I am going with SMB/YP/RES. My choices for fish suppliers are very limited with those selections. The place I am getting them from may or may not have different sizes available. The only YP available are 5-7". SMB & RES will be instock within the next two weeks.
My questions is this...how many of each fish (total) should I shoot for on a full stocking? I was thinking 125-150 SMB depending on size(s) available. How many YP & RES? Should I have equal numbers? More of one than another?
