I am planning to begin excavation on what I hope to be a 3-acre SMB/YP pond located 15 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona, with an expectation that I may also add RES and a few WE at some point in the future. I am having difficulty finding suppliers who will provide me with these species locally in adequate numbers at a reasonable cost (if at all), and I am wondering if any of the members here would be able to refer me to a willing, reputable supplier for my project. Also, I intend to establish an early forage base primarily consisting of FHM, but am considering mixing in GSH as additional forage. Can anyone here advise me as to whether the GSH are likely to outgrow the gape on the SMB and eventually become a burden to my pond’s carrying capacity when they reach adulthood?
I have lurked on this forum for some time now and have been very impressed with the level of discussion that I have found here. I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
