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

The YP will get hungry and some will revert to eating pellets rather than chase minnows. I have found that as the optimal forage size FHM become scarce the YP will look for alternative foods. Keep feeding pellets. Minnow activity eating pellets will attract the YP to the area either for easy to catch FHM or easier to eat pellets. YP are school or grouping fish. I predict when some YP locate the pellet feeding area a lot of YP will show up for pellet additions. Note this may not happen until right after the first spawn when spawned out YP are hungry and looking to regain good body condition and fat asap.
