I thought maybe big trout in the fall/winter/spring would be a blast for my nephews and nieces to catch!

So this may be a long term setup then? I think It would be great! Be fun for you to catch too

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

Yes, the intent is to make it a permanent feature. If you PM me your cell number sometime, JKB I could text you some of the photos and videos of the site.

I think it's more about trying new things and not being so blah on that everything is in one puddle. Hey, I got Trout here, let's do this, bass are that way! Kinda thing.
You do the same thing with your ponds Cecil. This fish here, that one there...

Bruce,
My apologies if I sounded negative. That was not my intention. I have a tendency to play devil's advocate at times.

Yes, the intent is to make it a permanent feature. If you PM me your cell number sometime, JKB I could text you some of the photos and videos of the site. Why not just post the pics here? I'm not much into texting. A gal (Mia) use to have my cell number. It took a couple years before all the phone calls and text's went away. Oh yeah, I've talked to police, social services, child care, doctors offices, grandmas, jealous boyfriend (who was going to track me down) and numerous others. One dude sent a selfie saying, "Hey Mia, baby, look at what your missing" It was a pretty gross picture. Fortunately, it's all cleared up.

Cecil, I didn't think you sounded negative at all! Actually you are one of the biggest reasons I frequent this forum. You've given me dozens of great ideas--and often the best ideas start with a devil's advocate.

Cute Pump:  Should handle Bruce's needs quite handily. It's a Honda Submersible, and reasonably priced.

What is that red paddle thingie? I see you haven't read the manual. Just un-clip it when you drop it in the water. When your quarry is empty, it will shut the pump off.

Reading the manual is the last resort. It's translated from Chinese anyway so doesn't make much sense.

Do not forget to read the 17 pages of safety information with key tips like "Do not plug the unit in while you, the unit and the plug are completely submersed in water".

And don't put the plastic bag it was wrapped in over your head or you might suffocate! Thank God I was warned about that!
