When I bought this place (I closed on the day before Thanksgiving) I had to rent the place back to the owners until their new house was completed. I finally took posession in Feb. When the ice melted, there were dead fish everywhere - winterkill. Next year I installed an aeration system, and have never had that problem again.
Now I have the winter diffuser set in front of the fish feeder, and I can feed the trout that I stock for the winter all winter long.
