I have an established (over 30 year old) 1 acre pond. It used to be a quarry so the walls are a 15 feet drop off expect for a few shallow (1-4 feet deep) areas. It is currently stocked with 80 8-10 inch brown trout which I don't see a lot but using an underwater camera I can see them and they look to be doing well. The trout were put in to eat the leeches at the beginning of the summer. They don't seem to be doing their job as yesterday I found 20+ small ones under my paddle boat. The pond has a large fountain which aerates and circulates the water. It also has tons of bugs. Thousands of minnows (in some places I can dip a small hand net in and get 25+), crayfish and 5 snapping turtles (I like them and won't get rid of them). Is there any leech eating fish that will help but not breed. I got the trout because they won't breed but they are not working well and I talked to someone who said trout didn't work for leeches that well. So I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions

Thanks
