I'd sure like to hear other's experience with RES. I keep putting them in my ponds. I see them spawning, but I never see any fry or fingerlings. I catch less than five per year -- but the ones I catch are all monsters. They immediately go back in the pond.
Cat I have had decent luck with my RES. 2 weeks ago I caught 5 or six smaller ones. 2 inches to about 6 inches. I hadn't seen any all year until I broke out the worms and actually tried to catch them and there they were. Although I caught a few a couple of years ago that were already pushing 9 inches and I have not seem them again. They must be in there though cause I have smaller ones and I did not put them there. I have also caught a couple GSF/RES hybrids.
