Bill, I'm right with Scott on this one. There is something magical about having trout in the pond, even if they won't over-summer.
I have a serious problem however. 2 years ago I put 14 BRNT and 3 RBT fingerlings in my pond. I cannot catch them any longer! They cruise by, taking pellets off the surface but will no longer eat ANYTHING with a hook and line attached. I've resorted to gluing floating pellets to fine wire dry fly hooks. The buggers refuse them and eat the pellets floating right by them.
This is all well and good except the trout are pushing 25" and on days when I don't or cannot stuff them with chow, I just bet they are eating my YP! The few I've eaten have had crawfish in their stomachs and nearly digested unrecognizable fusiform fish.
My next plan is to shoot some of them as they feed. I've always wanted to try shooting fish in a barrel....
