The trout pond has been a lot of fun and even a money maker as I hope to gross 5 to 8 grand from the big brook trout sales to taxidermists this fall. It may be the last year for raising them outdoors though as I want to build a pole building and bring them indoors to a partial recirculating system to conserve water, reduce power consumption, and increase the quantity and species. If I do that I will hatch my own eggs to get complete control. I've found a place in Utah that ships eggs of several species including tiger trout and triploids of several species.

I'll probably use the pond to hold male yellow perch and female bluegill broodstock.

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