Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.
If you can, post photos and keep us informed of progress -- including successes and failures. Not that we want you to fail, but knowing what not to do is probably more important than just being lucky.
We've got some real interesting Pond Bosses here who raise "fun fish" and trophy fish under very unusual circumstances. It is always fun and inspiring to read about what other people are doing.
Here are some trout that overwintered in my pond that is mainly managed for big bluegill and feisty channel catfish. I put them in at about 10-12 inches in October, and we start taking them out in April and May at 12 to 14 inches. This year my pond was iced over from early December until mid-March, so we didn't get much feeding time.
Just for fun, we always put in a few goldens.
