Fish does look well fed. Very nice color. If you have very many that size in a 1/8 acre pond you need to keep them plenty to eat and probably remove smaller fish to keep from having too many and the growth stunts. Great job and beautiful place.
Funny thing is, we just bought this property late last year and I haven't done anything with the pond yet, other than add the dock. I don't think it has been touched in at least 10 or 12 years. This is simply mother nature doing some mighty fine work!!! I am pretty impressed with how healthy this one was. I figured I would just have a bunch of stunted sized LMB's in there.
Perfect situation to start a pellet feeding program.
This was on my list of things to do. Do you have any recommendations on how to properly start pellet feeding, or do I just put up a feeder and start throwing the food out there for them?
