My pond was stocked with 1000 coppernose today. it is about 3/4 acre. i didnt get to see them myself, but my mom said they were about 1" or so. i expected them to be larger than that. does this mean i'm gonna have to wait till next spring to stock my bass? I sure hope not!!!!!! that means 2 years before i can fish my pond, thats unthinkable!! please help!! Also, should i feed the coppernose and if so what kind of feed and about how much does it cost? Thanks for any help.
