Thanks for the input. I'm really unhappy with the trout (pout) they seldom make their presense known, unlike the (now dead) smallmouth bass. Sure, they pick the occasional dragonfly off the surface, but don't leave the surface and crash back with a splash. Sigh...

The local fishfarm is an hour away and they have been lazy in catching and penning the bass. So I may have to catch and stock up the old fashioned way.

Oh, I have also ordered an Otterbine 1/6hp starburst floating fountain which I will install mostly for aesthetics; however, I'm hoping it will improve water quality as well.

Cheers! AZ
