I completed this pond on 6/15/05 and it filled up in a week. It was dug it silty clay and is 25 feet deep with an average depth of 16 feet. Sidewall were graded at 1:2 to keep weeds down.
Water comes into this pond from a waterfall I built at a constant 45 degrees so there is some aeration. Last summer was the hotest and dryest in a hundred years in New York. The surface temperature remained at 72 or less and five feet down it was 50 degrees. I put 1000 golden shiners in last July.
How many tiger trout are typically stocked per acre? Is it better to stock fingerlings or larger fish? what is the life span of tiger trout?
