It's the end of ice as we know it and Bremer Pond feels fine. I took these photos last evening and by this morning the ice was gone. This is what ice looks like right before death.

Water temp. was up to 44F @ 5ft. today. When will you know if the trout made it through the winter O.K.?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Nothing in the traps, and no takers on the pellets I threw out. The water is still pretty cold but I'm not optimistic.  If the trout didn't make it I'm going to plan B, getting a small amount of tiger trout, some CC and Perch, then put a much larger pump below the dam near the stream so I can supply at least 10GPM thru the winter and maybe add some type of circulator like Dwight has. I guess CC & perch can take low oxygen and if the other improvements help maybe the trout will make it. I did manage to get a small brookie in the stream near one of my dams. Still planning on getting a larger tank this fall for the basement and put in a divider so I can have the large PS's and some of the tiger trout.
