I have one 1/10th acre trout pond, and two similar size ponds to produce fish fry -- either smallmouth bass, yellow perch, or bluegill.

For a trout pond the 1/10 acre steep sided pond is the perfect size to keep water temps low enough to grow trophy size trout year around while running in 45 gpm of well water, but also have enough area to play them on a rod and reel when it's time to take them out.

I'd post pics but photobucket is giving me fits with their new beta format, and although I was able to go to the old default format briefly they have blocked me out again. mad It's probably my old computer that can't handle it. I hope to get a newer hand me down from the wife soon.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
