Thanks for the warm welcome. My pond is in Campbellford Ontario ( 1 1/2 hr east of Toronto). In the summer there is some flow into the pond through a shallower pond (14 ft deep) so I don't know what the summer water temps are going to look like. I will try and determine them next year.

I intend on feeding trout pellets from a local source.

I intend on installing a windmill aeriation system as soon as the budget allows. Don't want to bankrupt the family for my hobby.

I plan on raising fHM in the shallow pond, trap and transfer occasionally to feed the trout.

Any good advice on feeding FHMs in my minnow pond?

I also need to find an easy way to trap them or do I need a sine net?

My local guy says I can feed them trout pelleets, what advice do you have?

thanks for the info.

Max
