We had a few instances of nipping on the initial stocking of 500 fish. It was short-lived, which I attribute to the fish "outgrowing" the nipping stage, and acclimating to the feeding program. No issues since then, and that was in 2009.

No one here shies away from swimming with the HBG. Biting is a non event these days. You have to remember however, that we're talking about a pond....not a swimming pool.

I submit that fish will be the least of your worries where biting is concerned. The deerflies and horseflies can be another matter entirely.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
