HSB and SMB seem to be pretty compatible and work good together also in my experiences especially if pellets are fed. I had a couple ponds where SMB recruited young smallies when 10-12 HSB/acre were present and pellets were fed only occasionally 1-2/wk. Not sure how many more could be stocked if pellets were fed daily to keep HSB focused on pellets and not small fish.
