Goals - ""I want to be sure that the grandchildren will catch fish regardless of temperature or weather conditions.""
Let's get some more basic information.
Questions -
Are trout still living surviving all year in the pond?
Can someone catch them (trout) in July & August?
Does the pond still have fatheads living year round?
What brand and 40% protein content of fish food are you using?
IMO get rid of those willow trees. The roots will perforate the pond banks and transpire lots of water out of the pond. The willow will also add lots of unnecessary leaves and twigs into the pond to make it age faster and make more mucky black shoreline conditions. I have a local pond owner with this problem. He is tired of the problems and added work that the willow trash is causing. He deeply regrets allowing those willow trees to grow near and on the pond edges. .
