There are some very good temporary options to stock some fish for some quick fishing and fun for your son. 1. Tilapia are a good fish that will not generally live through the LA winter. Tilapia will grow fast for some fishing or you can buy some larger food size individuals for stocking. Choose your tilapia variety of dying death temperature wisely with maybe some advice if you are not familiar with tilapia varieties. 2. Some trout are a very good winter - early spring fish for quick fishing. Feeding them and tilapia will be fun for your son. Both of these species are good angler fish and will not persist to allow you a clean pond in a year.
