Just an update on the status of my pond. Some of the remaining trout began feeding on floating fish food in September. Just a few at first, with the number increasing thru October. Seeing positive signs that at least some trout had survived, I stocked an additional 100, 4-6" fish Nov 2nd.
It appears that prior to the Nov 2 nd stocking, the trout that I could see feeding on the surface consisted of two age groups. One group presently about 16" stocked as 8–12-inch fish in the fall of 2023 and a second group of larger fish that I would guess to be 18"+ that were stocked in the fall of 2022 also as 8-12"-fish.
