Looking forward to next years stocking and trying to locate fish or at least find potential places that may have availability, I wanted to recap where I'm at now and what my initial plans were moving forward.
Current Recap
Pond dug in Summer of 2013 has completely filled and has minimal to no vegetation.
Stocked in 2013
Aug 24th - 10# - FHM Aug 24th - 75 - 2-3" RES Oct 17th - 200 - Papershell Crayfish Oct 25th - 600 - 2 1/4" GSH
2014 Plans
Install feeder prior to stocking in 2014 Early March 2014 - 150 - 4-6" YP Feed trained Early March 2014 - 75 - 6-8" YP Feed trained Early March 2014 - 25 - 8-10" YP Feed trained
Fall 2014 - 40 - 4-6" SMB Fall 2014 - 100 - 2-3" RES
Since the FHM likely didn't spawn this year (haven't even seen them since stocking), does it still make sense to stock the perch in the spring of 2014 or should I push my 2014 plans off until 2015? Or will the feed and existing FHM in the pond be enough to keep the perch occupied so they don't clean out the pond before I add the SMB in the fall?
