How can I stock a small stream with sunfish?
Friday, March 19th, 2010Will asked:
This summer, I am planning on catching some local pumpkinseed/red breasted sunfish from a local stream where they are overcrowded, and stocking two streams. With both streams, I have permission to be back there, and it is the natural enviroment where they are found, they just died out of that section of the stream. How should I catch; transport; stock; etc; the fish and what could be expected of it?
