That's great to hear! I feel very fortunate to have such a well regarded source for trout nearby. I'm really hoping that everything goes well with this stocking. If there's a problem I think it'll be due to some issue with the pond I'm unaware of, not with the fish themselves. If everything works out I definitely will go with Castaline for a fall stocking. As you aren't too far away, perhaps we could order around the same time and save some on delivery? I would've prefered to have brook trout over the golden rainbows but they won't have any available until 2012. I think they'd do better in the fall though so it's probably better to just do the rainbows now. There is a small trout farm outside of Harrisonburg, Hemlock Springs, that I've visited a couple of times before to get some fresh trout in the summer that seemed to mostly have brook trout. I may check with them in the fall and see if they have any available to supplement whatever I get from Castaline. Bryan did say they'll have some 7-9 inch browns in the fall which I'd like to try but they may be a little on the small side for a put and take pond. I called the Co-op yesterday and the lady I spoke to said the have some Aquamax in stock but wasn't sure exactly what type so I'm going to go by and check it out this afternoon. The Aquamax 500 or 600 is what seems to be recommended. Is the Game Fish Chow suitable for trout?
