We use a lot of Dr. Willis's data and I can safely say if he felt they were an issue in a trout pond, I'd never even consider them on his note alone. My 2 cents.
Snipe - If he had said absolutely do not do it I would not even consider stocking them. He said it was the only time he had seen them become a problem. I read it as a single case. What if he had seen other trout ponds that GSH worked well in? I worry if I start getting brook trout to the 3-4lb mark, it's going to take more than FHM and scuds to push them to much higher weights especially if the FHM are eliminated. I would think a 7-8" forage fish would help substantially??
