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

Terra,

As for size, it is a balancing act. The smaller and younger they are, the higher the mortality rate. The larger and older they are, the slower they grow, and the closer they are to their last days. Somewhere in between is just right. Ten to twelve inch trout should be good place to start.
