YP Only Pond - 04/30/14 06:28 PM
Getting ready to stock my YP only pond and just want to check with the experts so I am not doing something too wrong.
I have been aerating (Vertex) my .12 acre pond (averaging about 5 feet deep) since about June of last year. The pond does not have any fish in it except the couple dozen FHM I added last fall. I am planning a YP only pond for some light fishing and good eating.
I am planning to purchase only pellet fed YP with a male/female ratio of 30/3 (does that sound right?). I was not really sure about the YP size to purchase. Should I consider 6”-8” or 8”-10”?
Also thinking about a couple pounds of rosie red minnows as forage feed for stubborn YP not pellet trained.
Stocking planned for this weekend. Sound like a good plan?
