I am shooting for a very similar goal just in a different location. From everything I have found over the years your best chance at naturally reproducing trout is Brook Trout. Not a big deal to me as I think they are maybe the prettiest fresh water fish there is and they are also, in my opinion, the best tasting trout. As far as reproduction for Brook Trout. The great thing about them is even if you don't naturally have what they want to spawn on, you can build spawning boxes they will use to spawn. There is not another species of trout that makes it so easy. IMO
PS - there is a back issue of the pond boss magazine that has an article on building spawning boxes for Brookies.
Brookies sound great, and I have that back issue for just that purpose. With good spawning habitat and no fish competition, can one expect to have an abundance of Brook Trout in a pond that would be similar to the great numbers of bluegill, crappie, and bass that you get in a warmwater pond?
