Those YP will eat the bullhead fry like crazy this spring - bh fry will stay in very tight bait ball schools. Also the bh will most definitely eat the yp fry

Keep an eye out for the YP ribbons after ice out.

Bullhead and YP have comparable mouth sizes - you will need to have a very large forage base to keep both growing to potential. BH also can be feed trained very, very quick and easily.

Hybrid stripped bass or smallmouth bass might be a great option if you can establish a good sustainable population of bh and yp over the next couple of years. Walleye too
