Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain trophy bass meals

Some points to consider when using trout as bass food in ponds that cannot sustain trout year round.
1. You should have deep pockets and be able to harvest the majority for yourself.
2. Since trout are cold water fish, you are adding trout in cool & decreasing water temperatures (Late fall, winter, spring)when bass are eating less and growing less. Bass eat most and grow most in summer in water above 70 deg F. Trout die in water above 70 deg.
3. When water gets 70 deg and all remaining trout start dying and if there are lots of them dying all at once, will the bass be able to eat all of them quick enough and not get some of them eaten?
4. Trophy bass eating trout in the western deep reservoirs are feeding on trout year round and maximizing consumed food.
5. Feeding trout to your bass works but I question how good it works if money is a concern.
