All pond species that have been studied for hook avoidance (learning, genetics, etc.) have shown that they have that trait and it is likely heritable. The only one not shown to be that way are HBG. Some I have seen no studies on.

Put and take fisheries are good if you are going to manage them as required. Feeding helps a lot on put and take.
