Updating, my original post. Since my original post, we've been feeding pellets daily, by hand and having good success with perch taking pellets.
Fished this afternoon with a small jig and caught these fish. They appear to my untrained eye to be in pretty good shape.
I'm assuming these are my original stockers that were stocked at 3-4" last spring.
I need to get better at taking pictures,tape measure doesn't do much good if you can't see it.
