Hello, I am new to this list, but I have read some of the posts. My question is this: I have a pond that covers 1 acre with a depth of 13ft at the deepest point with alot of shallow areas. I have bluegill, bass, and trout. I stocked the trout last fall and again this spring (Crystal Springs Farm). I have been keeping an eye on my temp and have been pumping well water into the bottom on a regular basis. About a month ago I noticed that my temp at the bottom was in the high 70's and was told that Aquashade would help. I put in 1 gal and it brought my temp down to 65. My trout (rainbow and brown) seemed to be doing well. I feed them regularly and they have been active and jumping (getting alot of air), but today I found 11 dead trout. I am at a loss as to what is killing off this many trout. I have occasionally found one dead from time to time, but nothing like this. I have also had to deal with the Herrons. I made a scarecrow and that has helped. One thing I have noticed lately is the trout are swimming in the shallow area close to shore (looking for small fish?) and I have noticed that some of them have white eyes. I netted two this morning and one of them had white eyes.

Any thoughts? I appreciate it!
