Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Trout Pond Owners

Our farm neighbors added a bunch of RBT to their pond that is downstream from our larger pond. Theirs is pretty deep and has nice water, plus it's heavily shaded all the way around by big trees. The supplier gave them about 1/3 more than they bought and they are concerned about the overall volume and have offered us to fish some out. At first, they had a few die and then added some surface agitation with a rigged up system and the fish seem to be doing much better now. We saw 9 or 10 hanging out right at the entrance of their spring, stationary in the inflow, and a number of others piping in various places around the pond. That seems to have ended and they haven't found any more than the few dead ones the first couple of days. These are all pretty nice sized fish, too, appearing to be no less than 10-12 inches. We've had crazy hot (for us) weather for the past month, too, with heat index values into the 105 range and actual temps in the low to high 90s far more often than I prefer!
