All have been sold except for four or five. As soon as I contact a customer in Montana I'm sure they will be gone too.

Funny you ask about the trout. I thought I had killed them all with the potassium permanganate this fall, which are the ones I've sold except for about 11 that floated up just as the pond was icing over. They must have initially sank to the bottom.

Today I'm draining that pond down and I notice a large boil twice, most like a survivor or more chasing fathead minnows. It will be interesting to see how many are left in the next few days once the pond is completely drained.

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