Cecil- thanks for this thread and the recent bump. I missed it back in March when you first posted up those incredible trout pics.
Your pond is such an inspiration and I had been thinking and wondering a bunch the past few days about your system. This thread answered a lot of my questions, so thanks.
I have a few RBT that I stocked at 12 inches just over a year ago, that look to be pushing 5+ pounds now. Super exciting so see one rise up and crest the surface when feeding.
Cheers to raising big beautiful trout in modest sized ponds!
Keep up the inspiring work, and thank you for sharing.
Glad to be of help. Just remember there is more thsn one way to skin a cat. I've often wondered if I'd be better off running aerated well water directly to the bottom of the pond. Problem is if it doesn't work i could loose the trout.
