Very good chart for temperature profile of the pond. Yes the pond had a cool water refuge until aeration was initiated.
How long each day are you running the aerator in your 0.5ac pond????.
With water clarity of 6ft all summer,,, the DO on the bottom should have stayed high enough for trout all summer. It would have been very interesting to test it to see if I know what I am talking about. It would have been very helpful and informative to see DO readings at 10 to 11 ft deep in July, Aug and Sept. The thermocline as at 7-8ft in July.
