The benefit of FHM in with the brookies was probably with FHM the brookies had both minnow and invertebrate forage items. More food is usually better for growing larger fish. GSH with the trout likely resulted in fewer invertebrates because large non-edible GSH were eating numerous small inverts and then less food for trout.
