I just took some readings. DO is 5 at 6" next to shore using chemical test. Temperatures range from 74 which I have never seen in my pond before to 58.3 at bottom near my air compressor aeration. Last year the temp never reached 70 that I know of. Trout are not looking well. Keep near the shallow end. You might know, the warm part.

Thanks for the replys, I have learned so much from this site in the past 3 weeks. Wish I had found this site before my spring stocking. I added 10BG,8LGB,Golden shiners, 5Koi and I hate to admit this 10 Black Crappie( Don't ask me why). Decided trout were nice but don't spawn.
