The new tiger trout seem to be following the same pattern as previous trout stocked the past 2 years. They were stocked this past Monday and while I was up there yesterday and today they didn't touch any of the pellets when the feeder went off twice a day, and this is the same feed they were getting at the hatchery.
I could see them hitting the surface once in a while at the far end by the islands so apparently they have gone Au Naturel on forage. Water temp. is up to 52.3F.

I got a well fed 8" brookie yesterday from the stream, he could be one of the ones I returned to the stream last fall, that makes 5 this month, now residing in the pond.
