I've been feeding my rainbows and browns floating pellets and am starting to see good results. This rainbow had some good girth. The rainbows are really growing much faster than the browns and eat much more aggressively. Adam I subscribe!

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Very nice looking rainbow. What you are doing is working nicely. Keep us informed to the growth of your trout.
