Last year I stocked fhm, hbg, lmb, cc, yp, and bcp (black crappie). I would have done things different if I had found this site first. All fish were 3-4 inches when stocked except the cc were 6". I found 2 dead cc after ice out on the bottom and I'm worried as I left my diffuser too deep over the winter possibly super cooling the water. My pond is only 1/10 acre and 10 ft deep at full pool. After a dry fall last year it was down to 6ft all winter which made it all that worse leaving the diffuser to deep. The pond is in the woods and has zero weeds as it is shaded most of the day so I've been adding structure like Christmas trees. I've fished since ice out and have not caught anything. I ordered a minnow trap to see if there are any yoy so be prepared for more fish Id questions! Also I am going to use some of the fat heads as bait and see if that gets any bites night crawler is not working if there are any fish left!
