Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose HSB died.....again

I have put in over 50 HSB in my small pond over the last 4 years and don't think I have much of anything to show for it. I did harvest 7 of them a couple summers ago, however. I would have swore that I had many of them left then, but no sign of them now. I've switched to ladder stocking CC and trying my luck with BG instead of HBG. I might even go complete mutt pond if the CC don't work out. All, just to keep my love of the hobby elevated and my efforts and my spending lower. Part of my wants it to get grossly overpopulated and stunted so that I can throw a few flathead cats in and grow a monster or two, but maintaining a weak fish population has been challenging.
