Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Anyone stocked tilapia in their ponds and observed

I was wondering if tilapia coud be raised in a netted cage in my pond in MI.? I would love to add some to the pond but when the michigan cold comes I would hate to see them floating dead. I would like to raise them for food, I was wondering if in a couple warm months if they would grow big enough to make a meal?
