I'm following Missouri Department of Conservation recommendations on stocking which is forage fish (3" BG and Redear, fathead minnows) in fall followed by LMB and CC fingerlings in late spring (May). If I understand the recommendations, the fingerling bass will feed on zooplankton and insects early on giving both minnows and BG ample opportunity to spawn.
My goal is a balanced population for all around recreational/table meat fishing...mostly with a fly rod. I welcome your suggestions...
