I added around 25 per acre through ladder stocking over the past 4+ yrs. the best I can tell, there are around 12 to 15 per acre that have survived. My adult son told me just a couple weeks ago that he had gone lmb fishing but had trouble keeping the hsb off the line. I suggested he go to plastic worm fishing and he came back and said they eat those too lol. We also hand feed them 3 days per week using Purina lmb feed and they also feed on the MVP that is thrown by the TH feeders. So they don't seem to be underfed. However if fishing after the feeders go off they will be harder to catch.
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
