Welcome aboard Timberframe. What is it you need to know? It appears you have figured out how to get your trout through the summer by not mixing the water column too much, which allows a cooler water sanctuary in deeper water but still enough D.O.
I will say brook trout could be more of a challenge as they prefer slightly cooler water than the bows, and are more easily stressed. Been there done that.
Where are you getting your brook trout from?
I have grown out brook, brown, and rainbows to trophy size but I'm not blessed with springs etc. My 1/10th acre pond had to have a well, in which I gravity fed it in -- after dropped it through a packed column -- to blow off nitrogen and C02 and to aerate it.
