The first stocking of YP were 75 4-7" fish. none of the first stocking were feed trained.
The next year I had 300 4" perch that I split into 2 groups to try my hand at feed training in a cage per Bill's suggestions.
About 4 weeks later I stocked 50 of the feed trained fish in my pond and 50 non feed trained in early 2019, then sold the rest to a friend 30 miles south of me.. I was feeding by hand every day at the pond until mid 2020 when I got a feeder and I can't say that I could confirm seeing any YP feed until last summer when I could ID YP feeding every so often. I have fed floating feed only but I can't "knowingly" give credit to supplemental feed.
