As some of you know my main biggest pond is all female perch and male bluegill, and I hatch my yellow perch in a smaller pond on the property. (Back left pond)
I've been giving my males to Esshup to put into his pond to avoid the risk and stress of keeping them in cages where they could potentially escape and add male yellow perch to the all female perch pond. At this time I don't have a pond for them.
Had a great time in sunny 55 degree temps and took back 13 males to the hatchery pond, and released at least as many females back into Esshups's pond. Even caught one large channel cat which Esshup will post later.
