Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking a new pond with RES, YP and SMB

That is one healthy looking YP. Did you take WR measurements? I'll wager that's 130+, easy.

Cecil or Cody YP genetics are coveted - great foundation for any fishery - I am happy for you but a tad envious, too. One of the advantages working with smaller, boutique hatcheries is that they literally pour their heart and soul into each fish they sell, and the results are readily evident. If anyone ever has the opportunity to introduce genetics from passionate experts like like Cody, Condello, Baird, Tony, Al, George, Esshup, Shorty, Yolk, Cat etc. you are way ahead of the game in producing an excellent fishery. I wouldn't hesitate stocking fish from any of them for a second and would consider myself fortunate.

Now you just need some Hudland SMB, and your fishery will be well on it's way!
