Have a 1/3rd acre (70' x 220') pond that has the following parameters:
1.) 45 year old yet newly excavated
2.) 1/3rd pond is 3-5 foot depth, 2/3rds is 12-15' depth.
3.) artesian well flowing 10-12 gallons/minute
4.) sandy soil
5.) aeration system, 2 units in shallow end
6.) will stock with Rainbow trout about 200 10-12" in late April.
7.) Will feed with pellets.
8.) some shade on south side of pond (tree lined with river birch trees. others isdes somewhat open.
Question, what is the best way to learn about the care and feeding of the fish? What type of aquatic palnts are best for trout? Anybody see anything wrong with the setup so far.
