Mike, good to hear your trout made it thru another summer. Mine are doing ok, the rainbows have grown from 6" to more than 10", and tigers are more than 14". I get a few brookies locally every week so they're various sizes. Now I'm trying to get everything ready for winter.
Is there any correlation between the ph of the water, and chara ?
I have lower ph 5.5 - 6, and don't have chara. Also are you still building a cage for raising brook trout, and what size will it be?
Larry
