Something to keep in mind sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for trout to feel at home and start feeding normally. I've seen that before especially if they were stressed by a long haul or the water chemistry is very different.
Hey if we end up with a mild winter and you keep feeding them you might be surprised how much they will grow by the time you need to take them out. My first planting like that in the big front pond before I had the trout pond was phenomenal. It was a mild winter and the 10 to 12 inch brook trout grew to over 15 inches, the 16 inch rainbows got up to 20 inches, and I planted fingerling browns that were 10 inches by late spring.
