He stocked rainbows in his dugout, added a home-built aerator system - had great success, with very good first-year growth. I think he said he got the stock from the provincial fishery management folks, or from a hatchery they recommended. They even delivered! What kind of fish are you looking for? I believe he also stocked a few grass carp for weed control.
