Set-up:
1/3 acre Northern Michigan Pond
Two 2" wells - total of 30GPM of 50 degree water
Depth average 6 ft.
1/4 dredged to 10-12 ft.
Stocked w/ 200 10-11" rainbow trout on 4/2/06
Auto feeder set to trout chart rate per # / weight
Water temp at bottom, through June = high as 70 degrees
D.O. in May was 14 I believe
Small algae bllom and still many bottom plants in shallower areas (creating O2 during day)
Aerator set to turn on at 60 and off at 63
Water temp on 7/3/06 hit a high of 73 at bottom
Trout are still actve, lively, feeding well
Obviously, as someone wisely put on this site, we are "tip toeing on a ledge in a light wind" with our volume of water etc,
QUESTION - when will the trout begien being stressed and start dieing off???
