I stocked right around 4,000 in my 3 1/2 ac pond and they are doing quite well for me. Im glad as I had a lot invested in them. I drove 11 hrs one way to get the paper shell species that Bill recommended. Next day shipping was absolutely out of this world on that many boxes of crayfish so I made the decision to make the trip up. I felt like the establishment of the crays was very important so I may have over done it on the stocking numbers since no predators were present when stocked. Id already went all out on 650 ton of rock and concrete for habitat so the long drive was the easy part of the equation. Now I walk the banks at night with a spot light and see cray fish every where and that is with SMB being present for two full seasons. Its nice to see the benefits of all the hard work and money invested!
