jas, In the above post Rick mentioned that I should add some input about golden shiners as forage for the trout. I am not real experienced with growing trout but here is what I would do. If you plan to feed the fish regularly then I would not add forage fish. Cecil manages to grow huge trout fairly quickly with just feeding pellets. Read his posts about trout. Trout respond well to that technique providing the water temperatures allow for feeding during summer.

If you do not plan to feed on a daily basis then I would follow Jighead's plan and use fathead minnows with only ocassional feeding. I see that you already stocked g. shiners. I would stock a few fatheads this spring. Watch to see which minnow survives best and come back occassionally to inform us of your experiences. Also if you do not plan to feed pellets you may want to seek additional advice regarding the stocking density of trout. Stock fewer trout if they are not fed pellets and have to rely primarily on natural foods.
