Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Catfish and Trout

With my experience this winter, if you run an aerator during the winter, you can feed the trout in the same hole all winter long. I had an aerator set at 4' depth (suspended) in 10' of water in front of the feeder. The feeder was set to go off once/day and the trout ate every day. From late October until now they've put on from 2"-4" and some have gained over 1/2#. I stocked 10"-12" fish, IIRC they were right around 1# when stocked. I caught one Wed night that was 15" and 1.6#.
