I've been trapping fathead minnows from my big pond where they number in the thousands and dumping them into my brook trout pond for the winter. What's really cool is to throw one in and watch a male brook trout in full spawning colors come out of nowhere and nail it.

I've been using a special Aquamax feed enhanced with Astaxanthin, and along with it being peak spawning time they are so colored up they look like they are on fire.

I'll try and get pictures but I'm not sure they will show up well with the glare on the water.


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