Ryan, I don't know how trout taste from other ponds, but mine taste great. I had a friend try some of my rainbow trout last summer cause he heard that trout that were fed commercial food didn't taste as good.
He trout fishes regularly in Adirondack rivers & streams, and told me my trout tasted as good or better than wild Trout.
Now I feed them Aquamax, but they also have plenty of natural food in the pond.
