I stop feeding when they stop eating. When the weather warms between cold fronts, I start feeding again.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I went to the pond yesterday to check on whether the fish were still feeding since the air temp had dropped in the upper 40's. I had put some RBT, about 75, in the pond and wanted to see if they had found the feeder yet. To my dismay I had several BG and LMB feeding. I expected to see the hybrids, and maybe the trout but not the other fish feeding.
