Thanks for the replies. I am in north central MS and we do get several weeks of cold weather in the winter so I don't think the TShad would make it. It may be best to seine the FH and feed the LMB the first 2 years or so of growth and then rethink the use of the forage pond. Such as growing out fingerling CC to 9-10 inches and transfering them into the larger pond. I really am just having fun with this. I doubt seriously that I will be able to fish enough to even keep up with the LMB once they get some size. Ewest, were you thinking of using the CNBG as forage into the bigger pond? Would this overpopulate and stunt the BG? I like to catch big LMB but I want decent BG for the girls (I have 3) as well as for flyfishing. How often would you suggest transfering the FH?
