bassandgrass,

If it ever starts cooling off, the rainbows will arrive. Yes, its the very same principal that I have used with Tilapia, except there is no reproduction and no algae and pond cleaning benefits. I can't wait to trout fish on an East Texas pond....seems almost an impossible dream.

Under this approach, the pond will have year around forage supplemental to the BG. Should result in better predator growth and better top end BG growth.
