Nice plump gills Cecil, that's some great growth for 15 months, I guess they'll be real porkers by the end of next summer.

I'm not convinced I have had good survival of my outside trout even though I am seeing some healthy 14 to 16 inch fish perhaps 18 inches. I did however see one today with a small amount of fungus on it. Perhaps the males have been fighting. If there are any females that will be more likely to occur.
