Wood ive been meaning to thank you for posting those instuctions, its imprtant for me to post pics , i was thinking it may give people a sense of where i should be headed with plans for this pond. as far as the trout .....well i stocked aprox 100 rainbows initialy about 6 years ago and the following year stcked 30 brookies and since that time never once had i seen a single fish rise! and im talking hours apon hours of observing the surface of that pond. Do you think its possible to have trout in that pond even after going 6years without seeing a single one rise to the surface?
