I was hoping SMB would eventually run with the HSB, my plan for this pond is going to be very little natural forage stocked . My plan is to stock in the Spring and feed heavily and aerate. HSB, HBG, SMB, , maybe some YP. What size for the HSB and SMB before they can take the AM LMB?
Given pond is 3/4 -1 acre was thinking:
40 HSB 8-12in
25 SMB 4-6 in
200/250 HBG 4-6in
50 YP 4-6in
Going to be heavy fishing pressure so want new classes stocked every couple years and harvest the slow growers. Don't think there will be much success in recruitment given the lack of natural forage but wouldn't mind if the SMB had some success.
Thought?
