Recommendations |
| Small and medium-sized bluegill and young-of-year (YOY) bass |
Balanced fish populations |
No additional management necessary |
| Numerous 3 to 5 inch bluegill and few or no YOY bass |
Unbalanced populations with bluegill overcrowded |
Allow no bass harvest; stock 20-30 adult bass (greater than 12 inches) per acre |
| Few 3 to 5 inch bluegill; many recently hatched bluegill; YOY bass present |
Balanced, but bass crowded |
Increase harvest of bass less than 12 inches; stock 200 bluegill three to five inches per acre |
| No recent bluegill hatch; few medium-sized bluegill; numerous crappie, bullhead, green sunfish, carp, suckers, etc. |
Unbalanced populations; unwanted species competing with bluegill |
Rotenone and start over |
