Esshup, thanks for the advice on stocking numbers and the winter aeration.
I think I will submit my stocking permit application tomorrow.
If the YP are "pellet trained" will they eat the same floating food as the Trout?
I will research what I need for winter aeration, and I might have more questions.
Of course, I was planning to dissuade the Otters by legal means.
(Not winking). It is tough, because one of the main reasons I built the pond was to observe wildlife in the backyard. The Otters are very entertaining when they show up, but it seems like I get more of a kick out of them than my kids or my wife, and I can't let them decimate the fish in my pond.
