esshup,
For sure keep us posted. Nothing like whetting the appetite! If you have success to share keep us posted. I stocked RES twice in my pond and still haven't seen, caught, or netted a one. I'm contemplating a winter kill scenario but not sure why all other fish did great over winter, no visible floaters at ice out etc. I'm hoping they have been shy in the deep and will come to the beds to spawn for the first time soon here. But time is a tickin and water temps are suitable for spawn...

Some feed trained, cold tolerant RES would be a special thing!
