One more thing, I would seriously consider if your water temps are marginal later in the summer even with the best laid plans... only feed once a day in the morning. Don't feed in the evening! Trout with full stomachs consume more oxygen, and going into night time when D.O. levels typically drop until dawn, that is not a good thing -- if you have marginal temps -- which means lower D.O. You would be surprised how fast and fat trout can grow on only one feeding a day if you feed them to satiation.

Here's a brook trout that was only fed once a day because for some reason the brook trout weren't interested in feeding in the morning. It was something related to light as they did not want to come up once the sun was up. They stayed mostly on the bottom. My browns and rainbows I had previously would feed vorociously twice a day although they did feed the best in evening. Go figure.

Yeah I know I had just got up and we artists don't care about our hair. \:D




If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
