I had trout in the pond 2 years ago, and while they still came up to the top for the floating food, I caught them under the ice in the deepest part of the pond. I think they were cruising right off of the bottom looking for invertebrates. I'd catch them on a small ice jig tipped with a spike or mousie by bouncing the jig on the bottom occasionally, and never raising it more than 6" off of the bottom.

Still catching them in the pond this year on Little Cleo's. (casting for them)
