I would prefer using barrels again as they will fit inside my Explorer vs hauling on a trailer exposed to -25c and the windchill.
Any thoughts? Thanks, John.
Any idea what the water temp will be in the barrels during transport? The lower the temperature you can keep them at the better as you can lower their metabolism and consequently the oxygen they will use. (Adding some ice if you have to would be good)

Are you planting these fish soon as in under the ice?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
