I have thought about cage raising but my concern is that I do not live on the pond site and will only visit during the weekends and not every weekend will I be able to get there.

I kind of like the idea of aerating and feeding through the winter and fishing out the trout come the spring and then spending the summer and early fall fishing for catfish. Once fall hits again, re-stocking trout and some catfish for the next year.

I think the well and water needs will be too great to summer over the trout.

My thought after reading all the entries is to find 8-10 inch trout for the fall and with feeding they should put on a couple of inches before spring.
