Hello everyone,
I am very lucky in that my in-laws just purchased a property in upstate New York with two, small, connected ponds. The larger is ~0.5-0.75 acres, and the smaller is about ~0.25 acres. We're definitely interested in stocking the larger pond with trout (this fall if possible), and we're not trying to maximize yield, just to have some opportunity for fishing. We do also, definitely, want to be able to swim in the pond in warm-water months. So far, I haven't heard of any folks swimming in their fish ponds. Is there some reason nobody seems to? We're pretty new to this whole process.
Thanks so much!
