IMO your best chance for raising trout in marginal climate areas is to have a well or spring water feeding a small pond. The smaller in inflow of cool water the smaller the pond needs to be. When I was in PA and MI, I have seen real small cement ponds that were fed with a small stream of continuous spring water to grow some trout; a miniature raceway system. It does not take much space to grow trout. Area as small as 8ftX8ft or even 6ftX6ft will work providing you have a constant small inflow of cool water. The member here that had the smallest trout pond was a student named 'small pond'.
See some of these links to trout in small ponds.
