Sunil That is a very fair price as long as they are native to the area. If from down south you will loose about half of what you stocked ,due to water chemistry and hauling in some stockings. The best golden's to stock should be mature and o range finned to winter over.
Cecil Last year we wanted to find out the real fact on how many fatheads 40 Rainbows would consume in a half acre pond in a week so we stocked 20 lbs let sit for 2 weeks and drained pond.We estimate that we were left with about 2 pounds ,when we shared this info. to make a strong point to Soil and Water and they said no way. I might add there was moderate cover, to prove a point to the customer that you have to let the pond evolve for a good year or two before you stock bigger fish unless you manage the pond on a full time schedule.
It seems Cecil has the gift and knowledge of raising trout that we all can benifit from.
