Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Opinions on an old pond (fish in it after all)

Remember that trout are fusiform and don't have spiny fins-- very easy for LMB to eat. If you stock trout, you're going to want to not stock any small ones. LMB can eat surprisingly large trout relative to their body size. I'd say keep it 11" and above, you probably have at least some bass around 15-16". No sense stocking expensive fish food.
