OK, guys, I got approximately three sets of numbers going and a couple of timing recommendations...let me lay them out (numbers per acre):
esshup: 1,000 forage fish (80/20) BG/RES...100 LMB?
Rainman: 700 BG (add 500 to my current 200) and 200 RES (add 150 to current 50)...100 LMB
Mo DNR & Nebraska DNR: 250 BG...50 LMB
Timing: I'm timing my stocking based on recommendations from Missouri DNR and Nebraska DNR (because they are a little colder climate) which both recommend:
BG in fall...LMB fingerlings in late spring of following year. Most fish farms hold "fish days" during both of those stocking periods since many folks follow the DNR guidelines.
If I understand correctly, esshup suggests waiting two years before stocking LMB and Rainman recommends (and I'm just inferring from what you've written about forage fish not growing or spawning during the winter) waiting another year.
Alright, that gives me info to process...thanks guys.
