We do have a new lake (one acre) that is going to be stocked with BG pairs to see how much forage we can create in a growing season. I was told to use 50 pairs of BG. Does that seem like to many?
Also, was planning to put some FHM in this pond as well. This would be a forage base for the larger BG. Does that sound reasonable?
That is a good plan for a 1 acre forage pond. I might go 60/40 female to male. Feeding will help a lot. Is the pond fertile (green tinted water).
YP are known to reproduce to an overcrowded capacity like BG absent adequate predation and harvest.
