I would put in a well but I don�t have a good spot to put the water. That is why I was hoping irrigation of 56000 gallons a week would keep temps in check. I guess I will have to find a place for the extra water or switch to YP and SMB.
If I stocked the trout for Fall/spring and I had YP and SMB year round. How many of each species should I stock? I also thought about putting 4 or 5 LMB (all male or all female so they wouldn�t get out of hand) in the pond just to make things interesting.
Also, if I stocked trout for the fall/spring should I consider trying to heat the pond up a little for the winter so they could continue to grow? I was wondering how well one of those wood burning furnaces would work for a pond�..
