Hello all, I'm thinking about putting in Rainbow trout in Dec just for the fun of it. I'm in SEast Texas and realize they wont last too long into next year. We have a 1/2 ac pond that is new to us. Our first winter with it and thought it would be fun as an added species to fish. We have LMB, BG that have been in the pond forever. plus CC and Tilapia that I put in last spring. I see where I can buy them, but man they're not cheap at $10 a pound. At that rate I may only put in a dozen or so.
Question is, is it worth the trouble for that few? I'm new to pond mgmt. so is there anything else I should know before doing it? I'd hate for them to die right off the bat because of something I didn't foresee. Thoughts?
