New pond, 8’ deep, 1/4 acre, spring fed, western N.Y.
Going to try brook trout to see how they do. I know they prefer cold water but my question is, how do you properly measure your water temperature? It’s going to be different in the top layer than it is on the bottom, so what should I go by?
Also, thought about throwing in some x-mas trees for cover. Are they going to be detrimental to the water quality as the decompose?
