We can legally bucket stock in Indiana with native species. We have lots of green sunfish in the creeks, so that is no issue and I will try to avoid them in my ponds. My neighbor saw a SMB in the impaired creek for the first time this year in over a decade, which I credit with flow-through from my SMB pond. I know that there are species that I could catch and release in my ponds, but time is the issue with so many other projects on my property. If we get another drought, I have another wetland project to tackle next year. Love this kinda thing! Have not really fished recreationally in many years, so maybe I need to do a bit more of that and see what I can legally catch (size limits) for my ponds. I need to catch some brooder GSH from my SMB pond and move some to my LMB pond as well.
