The ponds' water temp this evening @ 7:00 p.m. Central time was 60� at 6" and 55� at 3'. The trout are feeding better than they were during the winter, and the BG are sitting in the top 6" of water soaking up the warm sun. There are FHM in the shallows, and the GSH are hanging around the cage. Every once in a while, a LMB will come out of the depth and take a swipe at the minnows.

The Golden Trout are still more aggressive towards lures than the Rainbows. At least I can see them easier, and I can yank the lure away from them. I stocked 3x more RBT than Goldens, and want to try and go into summer with an equal number of both.

Unlike Dwight, my pond has only come up 4" from it's Winter low.
