Think seriously about adding trout when you are stocking. They probably last a lot later into the spring/summer "up north" where you live.


Thanks \:\)

What I stock is going to be based on what size my pond ends up being, and after I have done a lot more research.

We used to have quite a few folks up here that had trout ponds when I was a kid, never really knew how well they did but I imagine they were ok. I always fished the local creeks and rivers for my trout.

The climate has been so erratic here with abnormally hot summers and long droughts since the mid 80's that I believe most of these ponds are now gone. At least the old ones I remember are no longer around, and I haven't noticed any new ones in years.
