If I was you, I'd buy a good Oxygen meter and take temperatures/O2 levels starting asap before you stock the trout. That way you will know if it will work without extra work on your part, or a lot of work on your part.

I thought I had it figured out, but I found out that I needed more aeration.

I think n8ly had a doctor client install an O2 generating device with air stones in the bottom of his pond, and oxygenated the cold water at the lower depths of his pond that way.

Nate also has trout over summer in a larger deeper pond.

How deep is the water in your pond, and what do the "dog days of summer" do to the pond water temp?
